Father, son return to find prison buddy burglarizing home

By Lucas Sullivan | Friday, September 25, 2009, 11:45 AM

DAYTON - A father and son wrestled and held captive for police a man one of them knew from prison who allegedly tried to burglarize their house Thursday, Sept. 24.

The men returned from grocery shopping about 4 p.m. in the 100 block Linden Avenue to find a black Chevy Cavalier parked in their driveway and the front door open, according to a police report.

One of the men ran around to the front of the house to find a television and VCR unplugged near the front door, the report stated. Both men then noticed Kelly J. Burke, 41, standing in a bedroom.

The men went inside, locked the door and confronted Burke, realizing he was a friend with one of the men from a 2004 prison sentence, the report stated.

Burke at first threw his hands up in the air and tried to talk with the men, the report stated. But the victims weren’t buying it and started to fight with Burke.

The victims did notice two other men run outside the house who fled in the Cavalier, the report stated. When officers arrived Burke was yelling, “I was here for you,” talking to his old friend from prison, the report stated.

Burke was arrested on felony aggravated burglary and burglary charges. He has a court date scheduled for Monday at 1:30 p.m. The victims said they had no idea how Burke knew they lived at the house, the report stated.

Police are still looking for the men that fled in the Cavalier. Anyone with information is urged to call 333-COPS.
