Police responded to a burglary in the 3000 block of Garrison Street Northwest just before 8 a.m. on Wednesday, April 20, Chief Robert Contee said in a news conference.
Upon arrival, officers found the intruder, described as an adult male in his 20s or 30s, in the back of the home. The man reportedly smashed several windows to gain access into the home, Contee said. He was also holding a metal stake.
