Arbutus Man Arrested for Burglary

Anne Arundel County police arrested an Arbutus man on Mar. 7 in connection with a residential burglary in Brooklyn Park.

Justin David Taylor, 29, of the 1200 block of Stevens Avenue, was charged with first-, second- and fourth-degree burglary and other related charges, authorities said.

According to police, officers and a K-9 unit responded to the 200-block of Charles Street in Brooklyn Park at about 10 a.m. Wednesday for a reported burglary in progress.

Dispatchers told police that a man was standing on the back deck of the home when witnesses heard a loud noise and no longer saw the man. When officers arrived, they set up a perimeter, entered the home and announced their presence, police said.

The man went out a second-floor window and made his way onto the roof in an attempt to get away from the officers. He eventually jumped into the backyard when police took him into custody, according to police.
