SALTILLO, Miss. (WTVA) -- Lee County authorities have one man in custody and continue to search for two other suspects believed to be involved in a house break-in Friday morning.
Sheriff Jim Johnson said his office received a call from a resident on County Road 2246, which is North of Lake Lamar Bruce in Saltillo.
The sheriff says a witness noticed the three men under a neighbor's carport entering a blue vehicle.
The witness, he says, confronted the three men and actually wrestled with one of the suspects.
Johnson said Curtis Yarbrough was captured in the Auburn community, but was unable to give out any details.
"[A] suspect was able to come out of his shirt which we recovered at the scene and they fled in a blue vehicle. We have found the blue vehicle abandoned here on Lake Lamar Bruce Road in Saltillo with the tag off," Johnson said. "Our deputies were approaching that particular car and there was a maroon Ford Ranger pickup that left the scene in a hurry."
He asks anyone with information to contact local law enforcement.
