STARKVILLE — A Starkville teen was arrested Thursday after allegedly breaking into multiple cars earlier this month, according to a Starkville Police Department press release.
Anthony Buchanan, 18, of Starkville, was charged with one count of grand larceny (auto), five counts of auto burglary and one count of possession of a stolen firearm.
SPD Public Information Officer Brandon Lovelady told The Dispatch the auto burglaries happened on July 10 and 13, all in Starkville. No specific area of the city was targeted, he said.
As is typical with most auto burglaries, according to the press release, Buchanan was allegedly active in the early morning hours between midnight and 4:30 a.m.
Lovelady said a search warrant was served Thursday at the Brookville Garden apartments on Everglade Avenue, which resulted in the arrest.
At the time of his arrest, Buchanan was out on felony bond for two counts of auto burglary, one count of possession of a stolen firearm and one count of conspiracy to commit a crime from 2023.
Buchanan was being held on $175,000 bond in the Oktibbeha County Jail as of press time Monday. Lovelady said additional charges may follow.
Anyone with additional information should contact SPD at (662) 323-4131, Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers at (800) 530-7151 or use the anonymous tip system on the SPD website. Crime Stoppers may offer a cash reward.
