Gary Davis

A Huntsville man remained jailed in Limestone County Wednesday after being accused of burglarizing an Athens restaurant in September 2016, an official said.

Gary Lavon Davis, 53, of 2427 Madrius Road, was arrested Tuesday on a warrant charging him with third-degree burglary in a Sept. 12 break in at Casa Blanca Restaurant off U.S. 72 East, Athens Police Chief Floyd Johnson said.

Investigator Jonathan Caldwell obtained the warrant for Davis’ arrest after he investigated the burglary.

On the morning of Sept. 12, police received a call from the owner of the restaurant saying the front door had been knocked out and the cash register had been stolen.

Davis became a suspect in the case after he was arrested on unrelated charges by investigators with the Limestone County Sheriff’s Department.

Bail is set at $2,500.
