Burglary Victim Charged with Burglary

A burglary victim got a surprise after filing a statement with police. He was charged with burglary himself.

Clarence Dodson, 47, was arrested while talking with detectives about a 14-year-old neighbor police suspected of breaking into his house.

Dodson, who wasn't home when the teenager was discovered in his house, was located at another residence Tuesday and officers offered him a ride downtown to file a crime report.

He wasn't told until later that police were at his home looking for him when they happened upon the teenager.

Dodson was charged with burglarizing a Memphis residence last week.

In that break-in, a man and a woman came home to find a stranger in the home. Police say the couple gave the burglar a sound thrashing, using feet, fists and a hockey stick but he got away.
