Burke County deputies are
looking for a man they say bur
glarized a home on Marks-
Walden Road.
Carl Lee "Buck” Butler, 35,
who was paroled last summer
following an armed robbery
conviction, has been wanted
since Monday afternoon when
the homeowner’s teenage
daughter and a friend came
home to find a door pried open,
a broken window and the man
she identified as Butler inside.
Butler, who once dated the
teen’s mother, ran away but left
behind several items including
a large knife, hammer, screw
driver and several pieces of elec
trical cord. Officers say he’d also
cut off the home’s electricity at
the main breaker.
Over the past week, seven ad
ditional burglaries were reported
by deputies and Waynesboro
police, bringing the count to
more than 440 this year.
Police responded to a burglary
on Mills Road while deputies
were called to break-ins on
Cates Mead Road, Utley Road,
Saxon Road, two homes on
Highway 80 West andVickson’s
Corner Store on North Jones
Street in Midville.
In one of the cases, the home-
owner came home to find a
white van in the backyard and a
black male looking out her
backdoor. The burglar fled, leav
ing behind his flashlight and a
flat screen television he’d placed
by the door.
In another case, three pit bull
puppies were stolen along with
clothes and jewelry.
Anyone
with informa-
tion on
Butler’s
whereabouts
or any bur
glary is asked
to call investi
gators at 706-
554-2133.
So far, tips
from resi
dents have contributed to the
arrests of more than 80 suspects
connected with recent burglar
ies.

From the Blotter
Up in the air
Deputies are trying to track down an oxy
gen thief.
Last week, a Keysville resident called
them when he discovered four oxygen tanks
had been thrown over his fence.
The stolen tanks had originally been dis
tributed through an Aiken home medical
service, but officers were unable to deter
mine who they belonged to.
In broad daylight
Police are still looking for two men in
volved in a chase through town in the broad
daylight. Around lunchtime last Sunday, of
ficers tried to pull over a driver in a black
Nissan after he ran a stop sign on Liberty
Street. The driver, later identified as Nicho
las Gresham, 29, continued through town,
running numerous red lights and stop signs
and forcing oncoming vehicles off the road.
According to the report, Gresham finally
stopped on Kingston Road where he and
occupants Ronderick Brown, 21, and Willie
James Durrah Jr., 19, all bailed. Police
caught Durrah and arrested him for inter
ference with police. Both Gresham and
Brown are still wanted on numerous
charges.
Lock, stock and girdle
A Citi Trends employee was injured by a
shoplifter who didn’t like being locked in
the store. Last Saturday, employees called
for help when they tried to detain a Savan
nah woman, later identified as Samika
Bennett, 29, who was caught trying to hide
more than $200 worth of clothing in her
girdle.
According to the report, Bennett was in
the dressing room when employees heard a
popping noise and realized she was using
cutters to remove sensors from un-purchased
clothing.
When confronted, Bennett reportedly ran
around the store, snatching clothes out of her
girdle and trying to escape. When she real
ized the front door had been locked, she
pushed the employee down and escaped
through the back. Police apprehended her a
short time later and took her to the Burke
County Jail where a remaining shirt was
found in her girdle. Bennett is charged with
shoplifting, battery, criminal trespass and
obstruction.
Not warranted
A Burke County inmate was arrested for
stealing arrest warrants. Clarence Cook, 43,
has been in jail since late November for forg
ery and has new charges to answer to. Ac
cording to a report filed at the sheriff’s of
fice, a surveillance camera captured Cook
stealing warrants from the booking desk and
hiding them in the back of his pants. He was
arrested for theft by taking and interference
with government property.
Pot shot
A pet dog was shot - right in the middle
of Magnolia Acres.
According to a report filed at the
Waynesboro Police Department, the dog’s
owner heard a gunshot outside his apartment
around 6:30 p.m. Sunday, then heard his dog
yelping in pain.
Police say the dog, which is a bulldog mix,
had been shot in the neck with what appeared
to be a small caliber round. At the time the
report was taken, the dog was still alive.
