A Mt. Airy man was arrested on drug and attempted-burglary charges after allegedly trying to break into vehicles at Green Mountain Village apartment complex in Cornelia.

According to the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office, the incident began on March 12 when a resident reported a suspicious person near the complex, prompting a call to local authorities.

According to reports, a vehicle had been seen pulling up in front of the complainant’s apartment. A male subject, later identified as Dylan Scott True, 17, was allegedly seen walking around the area and attempting to open several car doors.

Deputies arrived on scene and confronted True, who allegedly admitted to trying to open car doors before he was placed under arrest for criminal attempt. 

During the arrest, True then allegedly admitted to entering at least one of the vehicles with the intention of stealing valuable items.

As officers inventoried True’s vehicle, they allegedly discovered two pill bottles in the car – both bearing the name of a different individual. The pills inside, allegedly identified as Losartan and Amlodipine, are classified as dangerous substances, according to police

True was subsequently charged with entering auto and illegal possession of dangerous drugs. 

True was transported to the Habersham County Detention Center, where he was booked without incident.
