Princeton man charged after pair of home break-ins

A Princeton man was arrested in connection to a pair of residential burglaries on New Year’s Day.

Princeton police went to a home on Linton Way early Sunday morning where the resident said someone tried to enter the residence through a window and the front door but was unsuccessful.

A few minutes later, officers responded to another complaint of a burglary at a residence on West Locust Street. The resident told officers that he woke up and found a man in the house who ran away on foot.

Police said the investigation led them back to Linton Way and 31-year old Joshua Pavey was arrested.

Pavey was charged with burglary and attempted burglary. He was booked into the Caldwell County Jail.
