Gotta Love Those Neighbors Who Just Pop In


Midwest City, OK -- Ah, those trips to the grandparent's house around the holidays - family, fun and felonies!

According to recently filed court papers, Curtis R. Jarrell, 19, was enjoying a visit to his grandfather's in Midwest City when he decided to pay the neighbors a visit. The problem? They weren't home and he used the neighbor's doggy door to get inside.

According to a probable cause affidavit filed November 8, the neighbor came home and noticed something awry.

Naturally (according to police), he turned to his "surveillance camera set in his bedroom" for answers. Low and behold, caught on tape was Jarrell pilfering through the homeowner's belongings.

The next day Jarrell was arrested for burglary.

According to police, Jarrell made a full confession when confronted with the video evidence. Which brings us back to yet another question - Exactly what was the victim doing with a video camera running in his bedroom in the first place?

On November 14 Jarrell was formerly charged with a single felony count of 2nd degree burglary.

UPDATE: On 9/18/07 Jarrell pled guilty and received a 5-year deferred sentence.
