Boaz patrol officer stops mini storage burglary in progress; 1 arrested, second man sought

A Boaz patrol officer stopped a burglary in progress Sunday when he noticed a man with his pickup truck backed up to a unit at 205 Mini Storage on Main Street.

The officer checked and discovered the man's truck was loaded with items from a unit that did not belong to him and called for backup, according to a police report.

Jeffery Blane Logan, 51, of 1740 Mount Vernon Drive in Boaz was charged with burglary after officers called the owner of the unit to the scene and she verified the items in the truck belonged to her.

Officers also learned a second suspect had fled the scene as they arrived after 8 p.m., the report stated.

Items taken included church song books, a projector, music, antique Depression glass and boxes of photographs. The woman renting the unit verified other items are missing and those are believed to have been taken by the second suspect.

Asus Taichi Aussie availability announced


The dual-screen laptop-tablet fusion device will be out in Australian retailers from 21 January.
Asus Taichi

The Asus Taichi — first revealed back at Computex in June 2012 — is a dual-screen device, one of the many we've seen recently designed to work as both a tablet and a fully featured laptop.
We reviewed it recently, noting that it felt a little more experimental than we would have liked, but the overall user experience was positive.

Asus has now confirmed that the Taichi will be available from 21 January through JB Hi Fi, Harvey Norman, Bing Lee, Dick Smith Electronics, BSR, the Good Guys, Retravision, Radio Rentals, Costco and RT Edwards.

The pricing is AU$1599 for the Core i5 model and AU$1899 for the Core i7 model.
