Briefs: Olivehurst man accused of burglary with curtain rod
A Olivehurst man confronted a neighbor trying to break into his shed with a curtain rod Saturday evening.
Michael Wayne Morris, 46, a parolee whose own residence is less than a block away in the 5500 block of Arboga Road, dropped the curtain rod and ran when confronted.
The incident occurred at about 7:45 p.m. Morris was apprehended nearby shortly afterward by the Yuba County Sheriff's Office and found to be in possession of a small amount of methamphetamine, according to Lt. Damon Gil.
He was later arrested and booked into Yuba County Jail on suspicion of attempted burglary, possession of narcotics, and violation of parole.
