Just days after getting out of jail, a 19-year-old Clarkston man put himself right back behind bars when he got caught in the act of burglarizing cars.
Bradley Scott Paulson was released from custody Saturday, Nov. 8 after serving his time for receiving and concealing property from a home invasion incident that occurred in May
The same day of his release he was caught fleeing from a party in the Lancaster apartments, off Dixie, and cited for disorderly person and minor in the possession of alcohol. Then, not even a week later he was taken into custody on Thursday, Nov. 13 for breaking into three vehicles and stealing miscellaneous items.
His pockets were overflowing with stolen goods like cash, gift cards, pills and compact discs at the time of his arrest.
Deputy Dawn Mullins spotted Paulson as she investigated open vehicles on Drayton at approximately 3:30 a.m.
She called for help, and when Paulson saw the assisting deputy, he ran.
He didn’t get but a few houses down, when he was taken to the ground and handcuffed.
Paulson was arraigned the next day before Magistrate Colleen O’Brien at the 52-2 District Court in Clarkston. Bond was set at $50,000 cash surety, no 10 percent.
His official charges read: breaking and entering a vehicle with damage to the vehicle, (a five-year felony or $10,000 fine); receiving and concealing stolen property of $200 or more but less than $1,000, a second offense, (a five year felony, $10,000 fine or fine of three times the value of the property, whichever is greater); as well as a misdemeanor charge of receiving and concealing stolen property, (a one-year prison sentence, $2,000 fine or fine of three times the value of the property, whichever is greater).
A preliminary exam is set for Thursday, Nov. 20 at 8:30 a.m. at the 52-2 District Court in Clarkston.
