A Batavia man with at least five arrests for various alleged crimes in the past two years now faces a burglary, 2nd, charge for allegedly participating in a home-invasion burglary March 18.
Brandon C. Dodd, 23, who police say does not now list a permanent address, is accused of forcing his way into the home on Vine Street, wearing a bandanna to cover his face, with an accomplice.
Police at the time said the residents of the home fought back, and investigators did not believe the home was selected at random.
Dodd was arraigned and jailed today on $25,000 bail.
His alleged accomplice, Robert D. Wright, 18, of 149 Ross St., was arrested March 26 and charged with burglary, 2nd. At the time of his arrest, he was jailed without bail. His current status is not immediately available.
Dodd's previously reported arrests:
- Aug. 27, 2008: Alleged DWI.
- Feb. 10, 2008: Alleged promoting prison contraband.
- Dec. 23, 2009: Accused of stealing video games from a roommate.
- April 19, 2010: Accused of going to a woman's house and threatening her.
- March 5, 2010: Accused of hitting another man on the side of his head.
It would be a shame if some
It would be a shame if some home owner with a gun had to shoot this poor fellow for breaking in. 8)
