Prosecutors: Thief dropped journal with list of homes to hit
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities in Tennessee say they busted a well-organized burglar after he allegedly dropped a notebook during a break-in that contained a list of other places he planned to target.
Robert Shull Goddard, 49, is accused of smashing a glass door and breaking into a Nashville area home on Jan. 29, stealing a TV and a gun from the residents, according to records filed in Davidson County court.
But prosecutors said Goddard left something behind that allowed authorities to solve the case — a notebook that listed multiple addresses, including one for another home a few miles away that had been burglarized that same day, The Tennessean reported.
Investigators were able to identify the suspect, in part, through notes his daughter left in the journal, along with her address.
Goddard was caught on video kicking in the back door of another house the next day, court records state.
He was arrested and held on a $15,000 bond for felony burglary and theft charges, jail records showed.
Maine man busted for driving lawnmower while drunk
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A Maine man fired up his lawnmower and went for a ride — in the dead of winter — leading to a drunken driving arrest, police said.
The Augusta Police Department recently posted a photo of two police cruisers pulling over a small riding lawnmower.
Edson Moody, 44, Augusta, was issued a summons and his tractor was towed away, said Deputy Police Chief Kevin Lully.
Police said people are occasionally arrested for operating under the influence on a lawn mower on a public road in the summer. But it’s rare to find someone on a riding lawnmower in the winter.
It’s unclear why Moody was headed during winter conditions.
