NATHAN MOORE
SALINE CO.— A West Frankfort man has been jailed after police say he was thumped with a board by the woman whose garage he broke into.
According to information filed in the case, on May 14, authorities responded to 1395 Walnut Grove Rd., Harrisburg, on a report that Nathan D. Moore, 36, of 302 North Illinois Ave., West Frankfort, had busted into the garage of Angelique J. Murrow.
Murrow told police that she heard a noise inside her garage and when she went out to investigate she spotted a male inside her locked garage.
Murrow said that she yelled the man to identify himself but all he did was begin walking toward her in an aggressive manner.
She said that out of fear that she would be assaulted, she grabbed a board that was lying on the ground and struck Moore with it.
She said that at that time she noticed the window to her garage had been busted out and that was how she believed Moore entered the garage.
Murrow advised that after she clubbed Moore, he took off running through an adjoining field and Murrow had enough time to contact neighbors who detained Moore until police arrived.
Moore was transported without incident to the county detention center where he was booked on felony charges of Burglary and Criminal Damage to Property.
Cash bond in the case was set at $1,000.
Burgles big screen from Burns
A Harrisburg man free on $1,000 cash bond in a drug case has been charged with four felony counts in a separate case.

damaged a door while he entered a building belonging to Brian Burns, located at 150 Baker Lane, Harrisburg.
Burns is the former doctor who, accused of killing his wife and dismembering and burning the body, has recently been found guilty of the kidnapping case he was charged with in September of 2016. The conviction came after a brief jury trial; Burns’ murder case is proceeding forward.
Byrd is then accused of proceeding to steal a 52-inch Sharp flat screen television with wall mount from the Burns abode, which apparently has sat vacant since Burns’ incarceration in March of 2016.
By the time he was done, Byrd had earned himself four felonies including Theft, Criminal Damage to Property and two counts of Burglary.

Byrd’s criminal history includes a conviction August 16, 2016 of two felony counts including Burglary and Theft for which he was given first time offender status and ordered to pay $3,288.02 in fines and fees, of which he still owes $2,888.02.
No bond information was available in Byrd’s latest case.
