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.
