By Rhonda Oswald
Witnesses and surveillance footage identified a man after he attempted to break into a Tamarac home.
On November 7, Timothy Johnson, 23, of Fort Lauderdale, was arrested after witnesses told police the suspect was seen throwing a brick at the home’s front door located at the 2600 block of Northwest 51st Place.
The suspect was also spotted trying to open the resident’s vehicle, but couldn’t get inside.
The 65-year-old victim sustained an injury on the right foot caused by shattered glass from the front door.
After Johnson was apprehended, he was taken to Broward Sheriff’s Office Tamarac District office, where witnesses and surveillance camera footage identified him as the suspect.
Johnson later admitted to the attempted burglary, which caused $1,000 in damages. He was charged with burglary conveyance, burglary to a residence, and battery on a person 65 years of age or older. The victim plans to follow through with prosecution.
