Man served arrest warrant on burglary charges while in jail

SAVOYARD, Ky. – A man was served an arrest warrant on burglary charges Monday, April 18.

On Tuesday, April 12 around 7:30 p.m., the Metcalfe County Sheriff’s Office received a burglary complaint on Hiseville Center Road in the Savoyard community of Metcalfe County.

When a deputy responded, the victim said the residence belonged to a deceased parent and was unoccupied, according to the sheriff’s office. Through investigation, the deputy determined that the suspect forced entry through a side door. Once inside the residence, the suspect removed several items of value, including jewelry. A suspect was developed based on evidence, which led to an arrest warrant.
