A 22-year-old man was arrested after allegedly burglarizing a home on Riverside Drive, according to a Thursday afternoon news release from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
A man was returning home on Riverside Drive after walking his dog around 2 p.m. Thursday when he was “confronted by an unknown male inside his home” with a firearm, according to deputies.
“The suspect took multiple items from the residence, including the victim’s phone, before fleeing on foot in an unknown direction,” deputies said in the news release. “The victim was not injured.”
The suspect, later identified as Ricardo Martin, 22, of Macon, was then spotted shortly thereafter by a Bibb County Sheriff’s Office investigator at the intersection of Riverside and Northside drives, according to the news release.
