Suspect damages patrol cars

Chad M. Breshears, 41, Albion, was booked into jail here last Wednesday night, May 23, on probable charges of burglary and three charges of malicious mischief. Two of the mischief cases involve Breshears allegedly damaging two sheriff's cars during his arrest at Albion.

According to the report by Sheriff's Sgt. Chris Chapman, the suspect head-butted one of the cars and kicked the door of a second car.

Chapman's report said deputies responded at 7:54 p.m. May 23 to a report from an Albion resident who said he had just heard a window shattering at a neighbor's house. The neighbor observed a man leaving out the front door of the residence and confronted him.

The neighbor provided a description of the suspect, and deputies located Breshears and arrested him. He was initially arrested on probable charges of burglary and one count of malicious mischief, but after he allegedly dented the door of one patrol car with a head- butt and dented a second car by kicking it, two more charges were added to the recommendation to the prosecutor's office.
