Man arrested in Boaz home invasion

BOAZ, AL (WAFF) - A man is facing charges after a home invasion in Boaz Tuesday night.

The homeowner asked Galimore what he was doing there and authorities say Galimore did not have a clear answer. When the homeowner called police, that’s when Galimore left the home on foot.

Police say it’s instances like this where people should be cautious.

“Yeah, I mean it’s just I think this right here serves as a good reminder for everyone regardless of whether you’re home or not to make sure your doors are locked. You never know who is out walking the streets and what their intentions might be,” said Gaskin.

Gaskin says they also found marijuana on the suspect. He was also charged with that and public intoxication. As of now a bond has not been set.
