Incident Date: 03/09/2013 - 9:51 PM

Address: 300 block S. Orchard St.

Arrested: Eric S. Griffin, age 44, no permanent address
Mr. Griffin was arrested for a Parole Violation.

Details: The MPD was called to a burglary in progress in the 300 block of S. Orchard St. Saturday night. A 22-year old woman reported she heard banging at the front door, and then the sounds of someone trying to get into the residence.

The door was locked and the would-be intruder went to the backdoor, which was also locked. Police contacted a possible suspect walking in the area.

    All I learned from this story is that the man attempted to trespass. He didn't even gain entry into the building. How do we really know he was attempting to burglar?
