Victim(s)
Male, age 28, MadisonDetails
First his dog started to bark, and then the outside motion light came on. It was around 3:00 a.m. this Monday morning, and the concerned 28-year old resident looked out to see a shadow moving into his detached garage. He ventured out and could see a burglar rummaging through cars parked inside. The homeowner yelled for the burglar to get out. The suspect emerged, placed a hand on his waistband, as if he had a gun, and said: " We gonna have a problem." The victim stayed quiet. The criminal jumped on a bicycle on rode away. By this time the victim had a pretty good description of the burglar which he quickly passed on to responding officers. The suspect was spotted, dumped the bike, and led police on a chase through backyards. With the help of footprints left in dew-laden grass, other barking dogs, other motion lights, and at least one helpful citizen who pointed out the flight path, officers were able to stay on the burglar's trail. He finally gave up in the 4700 block of School Rd. The suspect told police he is from Chicago, that he is homeless, that he has been living in Madison for the past month, and that on this night, he was out roaming around looking for money to steal from unlocked cars. The gloved suspect had two pairs of brass knuckles in his pockets, which he says he needs in case he gets in "harm's way." He had many things that were not his, including a cell phone, cash, a bottle of perfume, gift cards, and the 18-speed Diamondback bike on which he rode.Released 09/10/2012 at 12:22 PM by PIO Joel DeSpain
