It didn’t take long for Davie Sheriff’s deputies to respond to an alarm at Victory Arms and Munitions Monday night.

They caught a breaking and entering suspect before he left the parking lot.

James Anthony Blevins, 46, of Yadkinville, was charged with felony breaking and entering, and possession of burglary tools. He was taken into custody in lieu of a $7.500 bond, pending an Oct. 10 appearance in Davie District Court.

The alarm that a glass had been broken at the store on 1115 Yadkinville Road came in at 10 p.m. Monday, said Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman.

A witness also called emergency communications with a description of the vehicle the suspect was driving. “Within two minutes, deputies arrived on scene and stopped the red SUB prior to it leaving the shopping center,” Hartman said.

A front window had been broken at the business.
