Annapolis Capital Punishment

CP recently posted about a burglary of one of this neighbors and the below is a follow-up to that story from the Annapolis Police Beat Crime Watch Report. It speaks for itself. Let us hope that
the perpetrator gets to spend a long time now trying to break out of a structure rather than break in. It would seem that this perp is poking around homes to see when people leave for work, Many thanks to the helpful resident and the police:

4. BURGLARY: NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH IS WORKING! Yesterday, we reported
that a home in the 1100 block of Boucher Avenue had been broken into just
after the resident had left it. Further, we said that the victim had
seen a suspicious man loitering in the area as she was leaving, but did
not call us. We stressed the importance of calling in any suspicious
activity. On January 30th at 8:40 AM, a resident of the 1100 block of
Bay Ridge Avenue left his home and also saw a suspicious man loitering in
the area. Mindful of the recent events, instead of leaving for work as
he had planned, he circled around and called the police. While waiting
for the officers, he saw the suspect approach his home suspiciously as
if casing it. The suspect then tried to gain entry by pushing a window
in the back..Being unsuccessful at this, he walked to another side of
the house and began trying to force another window open. The suspect
then noticed the victim watching him and took off running. At this time,
an officer specifically assigned to the area in response to the recent
burglaries arrived . The officer apprehended the suspect after a brief
chase. He was identified as Marvin Johnson, 20, of Hilltop Lane. He was
arrested and charged with Burglary and related offenses. He is currently
being held at the Detention Center in lieu of a $35,000.00 bond.
Investigation into his recent activities is continuing. (08-000602)
