Shortly after that, the Columbia Police Department was able to link him to a break-in they were investigating and Sgt. Justin Cross obtained warrants in relation to that case. Attempts to locate the man had so far been unsuccessful. On Wednesday, November 8, 2023, at around 11:45amCT, Sheriff Josh Brockman received a call on his personal phone from a resident on Oxford Drive stating he had caught a man breaking into his home.
