CENTER POINT – A man has been arrested in connection to a Thursday burglary in Center Point.
41-year-old Brian Key has been charged with Burglary in the second degree, and is currently being held at the Jefferson County Jail on $60,000 bond.
The Center Point man is believed to have forced his way into a residence in the 400 block of Argonne Drive at around 11 a.m. on Thursday.
An elderly woman alerted authorities that she had heard an intruder downstairs while she was home alone. According to police, the woman saw a young man coming up her stairs. He fled the scene upon his discovery.
Once on the scene, deputies discovered that the back door to the residence had been forced open.
Key was discovered by deputies walking a few blocks away from the home and was eventually charged for the break in. He told deputies he had been in a nearby creek trying to catch snakes and tadpoles. However, he didn’t have anything to catch them with or carry them in.
