Jesse Gude Is Charged with Burglary

Jesse James Gude of a Macon address was arrested last Friday evening, Feb. 24, on a warrant which was taken out on February 13, by the Monticello Police Department, charging him with burglary and obstruction or hindering a law enforcement officer.

According to Chief Danny Norris of the MPD, Mr. Gude is currently being charged with the recent burglaries at the Silver Rabbit and Monticello First United Methodist Church, and is incarcerated in the Jasper County jail. Chief Norris also added that he felt the recent rash of burglaries and home invasions would be curtailed.

In two other incidents, Mrs. L.H. Aiken’s car was stolen last week from her garage at her home on Hillsboro Street. Officers with MPD have talked with neighbors, but there are no developments so far in this case.

In addition, an empty rental home belonging to Adam McGinnis was vandalized when a hole was made into the door. The MPD reported the hole appeared to be from a swift kick, and that there were no eye witnesses or any other evidence available.

Also, the Sac O’ Suds on Hwy. 16 west near the Butts County line was broken into last Thursday evening, February 23. Three juveniles and a 17-year-old, suspects in the incident, were taken into custody by Newton County officers who caught them attempting to enter Potts Grocery on Hwy. 212 in Newton County.
