The frantic 9-1-1 emergency call came from a 56 year old victim who was home sleeping when she heard a noise and went to investigate. When she arrived in her living room she observed that her window unit air conditioner was pushed in and an unknown subject was attempting to crawl in the window. The female victim made a noise in fear and the burglar took off from the scene of the break. The victim called 911 and the officers were dispatched. While the officers were attempting to arrive quickly and quietly they spotted a male matching the description running at a full sprint on Oak Street. The officers attempted to catch up to him and when the thief became aware of the officers presence he threw a tire iron into the bushes and then dove in some bushes at a private residence to evade capture. The desperate criminal hoped the officers didn’t see him hiding in a crouched position … no such luck. The officers approached him and hand cuffed him. The thief was wearing all black and was dressed to burglarize homes. Great arrest by these two dedicated officers. Arrested was … Marquan Moriarty age 19 of 126 Lazon Brothers Road, Springfield.
