Anniston man arrested after passing out in Boaz home


Joseph Branon Buckelew

An Anniston man was arrested Saturday, after he broke into a Boaz man’s home, then passed out on the floor wearing only his underwear.
38 year old Joseph Branon Buckelew,  is charged with second-degree burglary according to the Etowah County Sheriff’s Office. 
Deputies say an elderly Boaz resident awoke at around 7 a.m. Saturday to find a man in underwear lying on his living room floor. Several items in the home had been damaged.
The man, startled by the victim, ran from the home and was chased by a neighbor of the victim, who was armed with a golf club. Buckelew was arrested shortly afterward not far from the victim’s home.
“Deputies had responded to the Smith Chapel area much earlier Saturday morning to a report of an intoxicated person near the roadway but, were unable to locate the person. It is believed that Buckelew was the individual who prompted the previous call..
