Police arrested a Madison man for allegedly entering and removing a backpack from an apartment on Fahrenbrook Court early Friday morning.
A neighbor observed 26-year-old Jai Patterson entering 1011 Fahrenbrook Ct. at approximately 3:12 a.m., according to Madison Police Department Sgt. Karen Krahn.
The residents were sleeping at the time of the burglary, according to a police report.
Officers brought a police dog to track down Patterson’s location, Krahn said in the report.
Patterson attempted to leave the area in a vehicle but an MPD sergeant conducted a traffic stop and took him into custody, according to Krahn.
Ald. Scott Resnick, District 4, said everyone involved, including neighbors and police, acted responsibly in order to locate and arrest the suspect.
Police arrested Patterson on charges of burglary, possession of heroin, felony bail jumping and on an outstanding warrant, according to the report.
