Text SizeAAAMADISON, Wis. -- Madison police are investigating an early-morning burglary at a gas station on the near east side.

Police responded to the PDQ on the 400 block of Third Street at 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday and found the front window was smashed.

The PDQ is closed overnight and no one was hurt, according to police.

Officers followed a set of footprints in the snow to a door of an apartment building on the 2100 blocked of East Johnson Street, according to officials.

Officers entered the building and interviewed Brad Gilberson, who confessed to the burglary, according to an incident report. Police said several cartons of cigarettes were located inside the apartment.

Note to self: If you are going to rob a gas station, do not do it in the winter where you make tracks in the snow. F'ing idiot!
