Lenoir Man Caught by Deputies After Break-In
 
Deputies, while on patrol after a reported burglary in the Smokey Creek section of Burke County, located a Lenoir man emerging from the woods and later charged him with felonious breaking and entering. The burglary occurred just before noon today.

Jason Brian Kiziah (right), 23, of Horsehoe Bend Road is charged with breaking into the residence of Ronnie Crump, located at 1770 Old Amherst Road in Morganton.
 
According to detectives, Crump was at home at the time and confronted Kiziah when he heard someone enter the house via the front door. Kiziah reportedly ran from the residence, leaving his car in the driveway.
 
Deputies converged on the scene and set up roadblocks on roads near Crump's house. They located Kiziah within the hour as he emerged from a wooded area approximately 1/4 mile from Crump's residence.
 
Kiziah will make a first court appearance tomorrow. He was placed in the Burke County Jail under a $5,000 secured bond.
