MOULTRIE — An anonymous call led officers to a man who allegedly was seen stealing doors from an abandoned house Tuesday night.

Larry Williford Sr., 49, of Joe Louis Ave., was charged with burglary, possession of burglary tools during the commission of a crime, obstruction and two counts of probation violation.

Moultrie Police Investigator Sgt. Brian Newvine said an officer was called to an abandoned house on Fifth Avenue Southwest at 9:37 p.m. Tuesday. An anonymous person reported seeing someone in the house, and officers responded to the call as a burglary in progress.

When officers arrived, Newvine said the man, later identified as Williford, was seen inside the house. He allegedly tried to steal two interior doors and an exterior door with the intent to sell them. Other officers arrived at the scene, and Williford was placed under arrest and was taken to Colquitt County Jail.

CORRECTION: DUI charge
In a Jan. 28 report, The Observer said Ronald Craig Bass, 50, 4411 Dunn Road, Hartsfield, was charged Jan. 26 with driving under the influence, open container violation and probation violation in connection with a minor wreck on Camilla Highway. Excluding the probation violation charge, that information came from a Moultrie police report of a November 2001 incident.
Bass was charged with probation violation Thursday because all the penalties from the 2001 incident had not been paid. He paid the remaining penalties following his arrest, according to a Moultrie police report.
The Observer regrets the error.
