Investigating Break-In Found Nothing Broke

Cannon County Sheriff’s Deputies were called out to a McMinnville Highway residence recently for a possible break-in but found nothing.  According to sheriff’s reports, Deputy Steve McMillen, along with Reserve Deputy Jimmy Hayes and Cannon County Sheriff Darrell Young responded to the call.  The complainant was at a residence across the road.  The Deputies were advised that the break-in was in progress and that the offender was still in the residence with a shotgun.  The deputies checked the windows  and after making entry into the residence by kicking the back door in, due to the door having a chain on it on the inside, deputies determined there was no one inside the residence and the residence seemed to be undisturbed.  The incident is still under investigation.
