| George Leverous Bennett |
24 year old George Leverous Bennett, of Sylacauga is
currently in the Talladega County Metro Jail on a charge of burglary in the
second degree. According to Police, a patrol officer was transporting a
prisoner to the jail Tuesday when he spotted Bennett near the intersection of
the 275 Bypass and Renfroe Road, wearing only a pair of tennis shoes. The
officer notified the jail staff, who sent deputies to go look for Bennett.
As the deputies and police officers began looking, Bennett
allegedly kicked in the back door of a residence on Renfroe Road and went
inside. The residence was occupied by an adult woman and three children.
Bennett allegedly made his way to the kitchen, where he ate
Zaxby’s chicken valued at $13.98. The woman who lived in the house gathered up
the children, called 911 and fled.
By this time, probation officers and jail staff had also
joined the chase,. Bennett was eventually located and restrained without
further incident.
His clothes were recovered at a different location.
According to jail records, Bennett had been arrested for
disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace the day before and had only been
out of jail for about an hour when the chase began.
The burglary charge stems from his breaking into the house.
He has not been charged with any other offenses as of Wednesday.
