Today Metro 911 received word of a burglary alarm on High Street near Saint Albans, WV. A Ring security camera and alarm caught a man breaking into the house. The homeowner called 911 moments later and told dispatchers about the person he saw breaking into his home on video, then headed to the house.
Kanawha County Sheriff’s Deputies and Saint Albans Police Officers responded and searched the house. No one was inside when they arrived. They reviewed the surveillance videos, identified the suspect, then located Craig Allen Scott (30 years old of Saint Albans, WV) at a residence nearby.
As Mr. Scott was being arrested for the burglary he fought Deputies and attempted to disarm one of his Taser which was used during the arrest. Mr. Scott is now under arrest, charged with burglary and attempting to disarm a law enforcement officer.
As is always the case in criminal matters, the charges against Mr. Scott are merely accusations. He is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
