A Brunswick teen has been charged with a felony for an alleged incident of burglary in Chariton County on Sunday, May 20.
A probable-cause statement says just before 11 p.m., a resident was awoken by a noise coming from the living room of her home in the 600 block of West Broadway in Brunswick. 19-year-old Montez Hughes was noticed to be standing in the living room and fled the area after the resident yelled for him to leave. A screen to window was noticed to be lying on the ground outside the residence, and the window was open where Hughes allegedly entered.
Online court documents say Hughes has been charged with a Class B Felony of Burglary in the First Degree.
Hughes appeared in court with his attorney on the 22nd of May, where he waived formal arraignment and entered a plea of not guilty. Hughes was released on his own recognizance after requesting a bond reduction from the original $5,000 previously ordered by the court.
His next court appearance is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 12, at Chariton County Circuit Court.
