Jennings County deputies believe they solved several burglaries last week with one arrest.

Earlier in the week, a home on State Road 3 was broken into and items were stolen including hunting equipment, tools, a camera and cash. According to the sheriff’s department, a neighbor had a home video surveillance system  and that video led police to another home on State Road 3.

At that home, deputies saw items that matched the ones reported stolen. After questioning 23-year-old Zachary R. Clark of Commiskey, Clark allegedly admitted to breaking into the first house, a nearby barn and another home. Deputies also allegedly found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia during the search.

Clark was arrested on preliminary charges of burglary, theft and possession of methamphetamine.
