Jan 01, 2010 (Richmond Register - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Police arrested a Berea man early Thursday morning near the scene of a reported burglary in the 400 block of Elm Street.

Justin Dobbs, 20, of Buffalo Hollow Road, was arrested after police found him walking on Elm Street near the building, said Sgt. Willard Reardon, Richmond Police Department spokesman.

The building was under renovation, Reardon said, and a rear door had been forced open. Nothing was reported stolen in the burglary.

Dobbs was detained while officers investigated, and evidence linking him to the break-in was found at the scene, Reardon said.
