Footprints in the Snow Lead to Arrest |
| |
Seventeen-year-old Travis
Eugene Aldridge probably no longer cares for snowy weather.
Detectives
say a trail in the snow from the scene of a burglary to his residence is what
led to his arrest today.
The home of Shelia Monn at 3273 Idlewild Acres
was reported broken into on January 17th. Several items were reported
stolen. |
 |
|
| Deputies found a door to Monn's home had been
damaged, and footprints were visible in the snow. A deputy and investigator
followed the tracks to Aldridge's residence. Aldridge's address is listed
as 2285 Eastway Avenue, Morganton. |
| |
| An investigation established Aldridge as the
prime suspect and warrants were issued charging him with felonious breaking,
entering and larceny, and possession of stolen goods. A large amount of
the property from Monn's house was recovered and returned to the victim,
detectives said. |
| |
| Aldridge was arrested while walking along Bryant
Road in Drexel today. He was placed in the Burke Catawba District Confinement
Facility under a $5,000 secured bond and will have a first court appearance on
Friday. |
