Occurred on 5/9/12, 3:29 am   Burglary of Habitation   3310 Samoa Dr.   1205090014                                                      

The 42-year-old victim told Officers he was in his bedroom watching television when someone opened the door and walked in.  The suspect was using the cell phone keypad light to navigate inside the home.  The victim shouted at the suspect who fled.  Officers checked the home and found the suspect had helped to himself to some ice cream and Kiwi fruit. 

A search for the suspect proved unfruitful, until Officer C. Alejandro who was at the Stripes Convenience Store, 3053 Waldron Road, observed three males walking towards the store.  One of the males entered the store, but the other two males turned around and walked away when they saw him.  Officer Alejandro “sensing something was wrong” went in search of the two males and found Chris Bright (04/16/994) hiding behind some trash cans.  

Bright lied to the Officer about his name, but provided his real date of birth which allowed dispatchers to find out his real name.  A short struggle ensued as Bright refused to follow the Officer’s request, pulling away as he attempted to check him for weapons.  Bright was taken into custody.  

Further investigation revealed Bright had a firearm in his backpack along with a Xbox Kinect, several games, cell phones, and a GPS system.  The property was found to be stolen and returned to the victim at 3310 Samoa.  The GPS system was found to be stolen from 3409 Tahiti and returned to the victim.  Officers were unable to find the owner of the firearm, an MP3 player, or several cell phones found in the suspect’s possession.   Bright was charged with Burglary of a Habitation, Failure to Identify, Resisting Arrest, Search, or Transport.
