Anniston man charged after attempting to flee from police

An Anniston man arrested on two separate felony charges allegedly broke into an Anniston woman’s home as he fled from officers in November.  23 year old Timothy Lamar McCauley, is now in the Calhoun county jail charged with second-degree receipt of stolen property and third-degree burglary. He also faces four misdemeanor charges including possession of marijuana, resisting arrest and attempting to elude officers. Anniston police say on Nov. 21, two officers saw McCauley walking on  Walnut Street. The officers recognized McCauley and knew there was a warrant for his arrest.  When the officers attempted to detain him, McCauley ran and entered a home on West 22 Street.  When officers entered the home to look for McCauley, they saw him trying to escape through a rear window. When he failed to get out of the window, he tried to escape through the back door, which he knocked down. During his arrest police said McCauley would not cooperate with officers, refusing to give them his hands. The officers also found a bag containing marijuana on the floor.  Police say the initial warrant for McCauley’s arrest involved an incident in which McCauley fled from another officer in September. The officer tried to stop McCauley for not wearing his seatbelt as he drove down Walnut Street. McCauley drove away from the officer, and after a brief chase, crashed his silver Ford Thunderbird into a vehicle parked at Norwood Homes.  When McCauley ran from the officer on foot, the officer inspected McCauley’s vehicle and discovered a Glock handgun on the floorboard.  The gun had been reported stolen in September.
