On Sunday June 2nd, 2013 at approximately 1051 hours, Decatur Police responded to a burglary that just occurred in the 900 block of South Candler Street.   The victim observed the suspect in her home and confronted him with a wooden stick and the suspect fled.  The victim called 911 and was able to provide a description of the suspect.  Responding officers located the suspect in the area and a foot pursuit ensued.   Decatur and Atlanta Police set up a perimeter and the suspect was later located and taken into custody.   Property belonging to the victim  of the burglary was recovered from the suspect, identified at 17-year-old Antonio Bernard Harris of Dekalb County.   Harris was booked into the Dekalb County Jail and charged with burglary, obstruction of a law enforcement officer, possession of marijuana less and an ounce and also held for a prior warrant issued by the Marta Police Department.   Harris has since been identified through physical evidence as the suspect in a burglary on East Pharr Road on May 20th, 2013 and additional charges are pending.  Investigators are looking at Harris for other similar incidents in the area.

  1. Not really a crime-related comment, but the photos above are a great illustration of how important it is to select the correct eyeglasses. The pair on the left look way better.
