An 18-year-old man wanted by Starkville police for questioning turned himself in to authorities Thursday without incident.
Police charged Ian Malzonii Gardner, whose last known residence is Columbus, with residential burglary after he was named a person of interest in a Sept. 22 incident in the Louisville Street area.
His bond was set at $15,000.
Gardner was the second person arrested in a string of burglaries allegedly connected to Xavier Deundra Williams, 18, of Starkville.
Williams was arrested twice last month on warrants for separate incidents.
Another Starkville man, Xavier Devon Cotton, 19, was arrested in connection with a Sept. 15 burglary that occurred at Wildwood Trailer Park.
Anyone with any information about either residential burglary or any other crime is asked to call SPD at 662-323-4131 or Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers at 800-530-7151.
