Break-in investigated on Walnut Street, suspect arrested

A burglary investigation Friday on Walnut Street led to the arrest of a man who allegedly forced his way into a home.

Officers responded to a call in the 1500 block of Walnut about 2:30 for a woman screaming at an unknown man who had broken into her house. An arrest citation says 37-year old Derrick Gill of Hopkinsville had broken her locked storm door to get inside.

Deputies from the Christian County Sheriff’s Office arrived and detained Gill until Hopkinsville police arrived and arrested Gill for second-degree burglary.
