An investigation of a burglary in progress on East Ninth Street Sunday afternoon led to the arrest of a local man.
Hopkinsville police were notified of a burglary at an apartment in the 1000 block of East Ninth and were told the suspect, 36-year old Howki Tools of Hopkinsville, had fled on foot.
He was located at East Ninth and Cedar Street and the property manager said Tools had gone into the apartment of a man who is in jail and took property from there into his own apartment, including clothing, a TV and appliances.
Tools reportedly said he had permission to go inside that apartment, but investigation determined that to not be true.
Tools was arrested and charged with second-degree burglary.
