Suspect Caught
A 36-year-old man was ar­

warrants after police responded
to a “burglary in progress” in the
76(X) block of North Curtis Av­

A neighbor called police after
watching a man walk into the
back yard of a neighboring home
and force entry to a window.
Troy Michael Powell was ar­
rested inside the home. D etec­

amount of suspected stolen prop­
erty from his residence, primarily
jewelry, smal I electronics and coin
collections.
Detectives believe the prop­
