On 12/31/2009 James Aaron White age 29 of 268 HWY 370 west of Baldwyn was arrested and charged with burglary in connection with an incident that occurred back on 10/06/2009 at a residence on CR 6381 Baldwyn. The initial report stated that unknown individuals entered and took two guns from a vehicle at his residence. We can credit witnesses at the scene for giving us the initial lead in the case with a description of a vehicle. I encourage everyone to heighten their awareness of suspicious people and vehicles in our communities and neighborhoods. Investigator Sammy Henderson is the lead Investigator on the case with Investigator Roy Ragin assisting. After White's arrest, Investigators recovered several guns on 01/05.2010 Tuesday that White had disposed of. Investigators actually recovered more guns than was reported stolen. The Investigators determined that there were actually three guns taken in the burglary rather than two and the victim didn't realize it until saw the other guns. We still are attempting to identify two other guns that were recovered, both long guns. White was released on a $2,500 bond 01/02/2010. This was a case that everything came together with the cooperation of numerous people and Law Enforcement agencies. Our Investigators did a great job in solving the burglary and finally tracking down the suspect after looking for him for an extended period of time.
