    Police have arrested the man they say broke in to West Palm Beach City Hall and left cocaine behind.

    Earlier this month, the building was evacuated after an employee arriving in the morning found men's clothing and a plastic bag with white powder on the floor of the commission chambers. The powder tested positive for cocaine.

    An investigation turned up that 34-year old Jake Foster Machado had broken in two days earlier, on a Saturday and proceeded to remove his shirt and shoes.

    After spending a half hour in the building, the Lake Worth Beach man attempted to re-enter the building but couldn't get in.

    Machado was arrested at a drug rehab and faces several charges.
