The home of the Newton Municipal School District Police Chief Harvey Curry’s home was the target of a residential burglary.
On March 20, Newton County E-911 dispatched officers to the residence of Newton Municipal School District Police Chief Harvey Curry’s residence for a residential burglary.
Once on scene, officers began a formal investigation with Captain Jones being named as lead investigator on the case. After extensive interviews, collaboration with government agencies, and community support, Aquarius Anderson was identified as a suspect and charged with Felony Burglary & Entry of a Dwelling.
By March 28, officers were able to recover all stolen property.
The Newton Police Department said that additional perpetrators have been charged; however, those individuals are juveniles and will process through the youth court system. Possible additional charges of individuals are forthcoming.
Interim Chief McKenzie Patrick stated,
“I want to thank Captain Jones for his tireless efforts in investigating this case. I would also like to thank our community for coming together and standing up for what is right in the City of Newton. When parents hold their children accountable for their actions, our community holds strong. This is what it takes to bring the City of Newton back.”
