A Dubach man was arrested early last Tuesday morning after the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a man attempting to break into a home.
Jon Dumas, 24, was arrested for unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling and criminal mischief after deputies spotted him on the property where the alleged break in occurred at about 2 a.m.
Deputies responded to the 9000 block of U.S. Highway 80 and found Dumas on the property. He was taken into custody and deputies investigated several reports of illegal entry.
LPSO had previously investigated a woman’s complaint on Houston Drive that a man was sitting on her front porch and checking her doors. The woman provided video of the man on her porch.
While searching for the man, deputies found a mobile home in the 9000 block of U.S. 80 with the door kicked in. Once Dumas was in custody, he was taken to the trailer to see if his shoe matched the foot imprint on the door. The shoe did not match but Dumas stated he did go inside the home to sit down. The video from Houston Drive revealed Dumas was the suspect there as well.
