Burglar Is Caught With Goods
Reginal Spike Jones of an Atlanta address was arrested last Friday by the Monticello Police Department (MPD) and charged with burglary and criminal damage to property.
According to a report from the MPD, Mr. Jones had disabled the electric breaker box at the Hideaway Package Store, then used a garbage can to get on top of the air conditioner where he stood and damaged the roof attempting to gain entry to the store. Without success at this method he returned to the ground and used a large rock to smash the glass door to gain entry.
Mr. Jones was later spotted on Spruce Street and was apprehended with several bottles of liquor in his possession. He was arrested and transported to the Jasper County Hospital for a cut on his wrist. After refusing treatment he was transferred to the Jasper County Jail where he was processed and jailed.
