GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Dennis Claude Coleman, Jr., 19, was arrested yesterday morning and charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling; he was also booked on an arrest warrant for violating probation.
An Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy responded to an apartment in Majestic Oaks (5800 SW 20th Avenue) on February 2 and found that the outside pane of a back window had been broken, but the inside pane was intact. There was nobody inside the apartment, and the window was secured before the deputy left.
The next day, a deputy responded to a call about someone trying to break into the same apartment. The deputy found the same window completely broken, with the glass brushed away from the frame. Deputies entered the apartment and reportedly found Coleman inside; he reportedly said he was there to meet a friend.
A search incident to arrest reportedly produced 14 Adderall pills, 2.27 grams of cocaine, and tobacco blunts with cocaine inside the wrapper.
Coleman has been charged with burglary of an occupied building and two counts of possession of a controlled substance.
