MEDFORD, Ore. -- Medford police arrested a homeless man accused of vandalizing a dozen soda vending machines last week.
 
Detective Sgt. Mike Budreau said officers investigating an unrelated incident last Friday discovered Gregory Moore had several arrest warrants issued out of California and took him into custody.
 
Officers also noticed that Moore's outfit matched the one worn by the vending vandal, who had been seen on surveillance tape.
 
The ensuing investigation linked the 28-year-old to 11 damaged vending machines in Medford and one in Ashland.
 
Police say damage to the machines exceeds $10,000, far more money than what was stolen from inside.
 
Moore was charged with criminal mischief and theft and remained in the Jackson County Jail on Tuesday.
