Matthew Howell
Matthew Howell has been taken into custody by Bradley County deputies on charges of aggravated burglary and theft under $1000 after stealing items from a Bradley County resident’s garage.
On Saturday, Sept. 5, BCSO deputies arrived at a residence in southern Bradley County in response to a reported burglary.
The victim had noticed an item missing from her garage, which prompted her to review footage from her security camera. On security footage from Aug. 22, she observed a male suspect entering her garage and loading her pressure washer and Bluetooth speaker into his vehicle.
Investigators with the BCSO retrieved a visual description of the vehicle from the security footage and were able to identify the male suspect as Matthew Howell of Cleveland. Warrants were then issued for Howell’s arrest.
On Thursday, Howell was located and arrested on warrants for aggravated burglary and theft under $1000.
