\nPolice have arrested 23-year-old Jess Mason of Brownsville in connection with several break-ins in the area.<\/p>\n
Owner of the Cee Bee Food Store Jeff Rich said, when he saw one of his windows smashed early April 14, he thought it had been some kids playing a prank. A quick look at surrounding businesses quickly told a much different story.<\/p>\n
Rich says he was lucky that he had cameras, which were able to catch the perpetrator in the act.<\/p>\n
Smiths Grove Police Chief Jason Franks said camera footage was integral in catching the perpetrator, who had at that point burgled businesses in both Brownsville and Smith\u2019s Grove.<\/p>\n
Franks said they received a call late Saturday night from a deputy in the Edmonson County sheriff\u2019s office, who had received a tip through their dispatch, that an owner of a local business had seen the news coverage and recognized the person as Jess Mason. That information led to a follow up on that name and that address and was able to make contact with Mr. Mason. During that interview, he indicated that he was the person involved.<\/p>\n
Mason was arrested and charged with Criminal Mischief first-degree. Franks said while Mason has been arrested, he understands the recovery process for the community may be slow.<\/p>\n
Businesses that were broken into include Brownsville\u2019s Subway, Cee Bee Food Store, and Dairy Queen. As well as Smiths Grove\u2019s Marigold Vintage, The Flavor Isle, Dr. Avula\u2019s Office at Graves Gilbert Clinic, and Building Blocks Daycare.<\/p>\n
This is an ongoing investigation.
