On 04/19/2009 Sunday morning, Prentiss County Deputies and Investigators investigated the burglary of Mike's Place in Burton. The burglary occurred sometime earlier before the burglary was discovered. During the investigation a suspect was developed and soon afterward taken into custody along with numerous pieces of physical evidence that tied him to the burglary. Officers arrested David Shannon Clingan, age 30 of 230 CR 2230 Booneville. He was arrested at home without incident not long after the burglary was reported. This was the second time this individual had burglarized the same business. He was on parole from prison after serving a short time for the first burglary. The suspect took money in a moneybag, cigarettes and soft drinks. He was given a initial appearance and the judge set his bond at $10,000. Although he had a bond set, he remains in custody because the Mississippi Department of Correction has hold on him for failing to report to his parole officer. This was a great job on every body's part. We could not have been as successful if it had not been for the cooperation of the business owner.
