Athens-Clarke County police arrested a 17-year-old in connection with a burglary on the north side of town. Police say they recovered evidence possibly linking the suspect to other crimes, as well.
On March 7, police officers executed a search warrant at a residence on Ruth Street in relation to a recent burglary on Northside Drive. During the search, officers recovered property stolen in the burglary, says Athens-Clarke County Police Department Public Information Officer Lt. Shaun Barnett.
“Additionally, several other items stolen during numerous burglaries and entering autos were recovered, to include a firearm,” says Barnett.
Police arrested Lamans Williams of Athens and charged him with first-degree burglary, theft by receiving, and possession of a pistol by a person under 18.
According to Lt. Barnett, investigations are ongoing and additional charges are likely.
