Athens Police arrested Tevian Torae Jackson, 19, of 2116 Stanford St., on a warrant charging him with first-degree burglary, records show. He is accused of entering the home at 2109 Stanford St. on Dec. 16 and breaking a table, lamp, bowl and other property, Capt. Floyd Johnson said.

“The residence was occupied at the time Jackson entered it,” Johnson said.

Sergeant Dustin Lansford investigated and obtained a warrant for Jackson.

Jackson was booked at the Police Department on Tuesday and transferred to the Limestone County Jail, where he was released after posting bail of $10,000.

This case remains under investigation, Johnson said.
