Shirley remained in bed and ignored it. A few minutes later, she heard glass break. She grabbed her cell phone and hid in a bathroom. She observed a male white in his 20s ransack the house as she looked through a crack in the door. Shirley called 911after the suspect left the residence. The police were arrived after the suspect left and started a criminal investigation. The investigation yielded Probable Cause to arrest Clyde Edwards and he is arrested and charged with Burglary.
