Julio Jones' Atlanta home was burglarized while the wide receiver was in the Florida with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Atlanta police said officers responded to reports of a burglary at the wideout's home. When authorities arrived on the scene, they were told the property belonged to the Buccaneers' player.
Fox 5 Atlanta reported that numerous pieces of clothing and jewelry, including NFL apparel, a watch, and a pair of Charles Barkley Nike shoes, were taken from the residence. Atlanta Police Capt. Ben Vayens told Fox 5 Atlanta about the missing items from the NFL star's home:
“There were several items missing from the location, which included clothing and jewelry, and also [the officer] did a great job taking a detailed description and providing a detailed description over the radio."
Video footage shows the burglary suspect apparently wearing items stolen from the home, including a sweatshirt. Captain Vayens added:
"When he apprehended the male, he did have on one of his sweatshirts that were stolen from the residence, the exact description provided by the victims and that helped lead to the arrest."
Vayens told Fox 5 that he credits the “swift arrest” to the specific descriptions given over the radio. He added he “wishes every burglary case could be like this one.”
The suspect, 31-year-old Martin A. Williams, was arrested without incident. He was booked into the Fulton County jail for burglary and theft by receiving charges.
Once the Tampa Bay receiver heads back to Atlanta, he will be able to retrieve the items that were stolen from him.
