Arrested: King, Jon
J; 34 year of age male, Richland resident
Charges: 3 counts Residential
Burglary, Resisting Arrest
On 3-27-2013 at about 9:45 PM Richland officers responded to
a call of suspicious circumstances in the 200 block of Gage Blvd. A female caller reported a male subject had
entered her residence and had attempted entry into her bedroom. The victim screamed and the male subject fled
out the back door.
The residential areas in and around the Meadow Springs Golf
Course have had a significant number of occupied residential burglaries since
May, 2012. This report fit the same
pattern.
Responding patrol units were in the area when a second call
was received at 10:00 PM in the 300 block of Quailwood Place. Neighbors called to report seeing a male
subject inside their neighbor’s home.
The suspect was seen on the porch and inside the kitchen area with a
flashlight. The residence was occupied
at the time of the burglary.
Officers set up containment around the residence and could
see flashlight beams inside the home. A call
was made to the residence and a short time later King exited the home and was
taken into custody. King fought with officers while he was being arrested.
The interior of the home was searched and an elderly female
resident contacted. She was unaware of
King’s presence and stated that no one had permission to be inside her
residence.
King was wearing Nike shoes with a very distinct pattern on the
sole. This same pattern has been
discovered at other burglary scenes in the immediate area.
Property from three residences was found on King’s person and
in the immediate area of his arrest.
Included was a bottle of alcohol, silver coins, a back pack, hospital ID,
leather notebook, and cash. Three separate victims have been identified from this incident.
A detective and evidence technician was called to assist
with processing the scene and stolen property.
A search warrant may be served at a later time.
Contact was made with the Benton County Prosecutor’s Office.
A felony 72 hour hold was approved. King
was booked into the Benton County jail on the above charges.
Contact Capt. Mike Cobb, 942-7362, for additional
information.
