Smithville Police Charge McKissack With Three More Burglaries

A 39 year old Smithville man, already charged with a burglary of one residence at Brookview Apartments, has now been charged with the burglary of three others there.
Police Chief Thomas J. Stufano says James Nathaniel McKissack, a resident of Brookview Apartments, was charged on Sunday with aggravated burglary and resisting arrest. “On November 19th, Smithville Police arrested MsKissack of 740 Walker Drive for his participation in a burglary of a neighbor’s apartment located at Brookview Apartments.”
“Detectives who had been working the case have now discovered that McKissack had also broken into three other neighbors apartments and stole a wide array of items including a laptop, pot and pans, sneakers, boxes of candy that are sold by school children, jewelry, cleaning supplies, makeup and video games. In one instance, the neighbors had been away and were unaware of the break-in and theft to their residence until police officers showed up with their property. All of the stolen items were eventually recovered in McKissack’s apartment.”
Additional charges of burglary were placed against McKissack at the DeKalb County Jail with bond set at $58,500.
Chief Stufano says “this is another case where citizen cooperation has afforded the Police Department with valuable information which helped resolve crime in our city.”
