Police Arrest 1, Seek Another in Curtis Bay Burglary

Anne Arundel County police arrested a Pasadena man and are seeking another suspect, in connection with a burglary at a Curtis Bay home early Sunday, according to a department press release.

Shortly before 2 a.m., police responded to a burglary-in-progress at a home on the 8100 block of Parkway Drive. Police said the resident saw lights from a flashlight and watched a person walk around an enclosed porch.

Arriving officers saw a man run out of the rear entrance of the home, chased him down and eventually arrested him. Another suspect avoided police, according to the release.

Police said the suspects broke into the home sometime after 6 p.m. on Saturday, transported items to another location, and returned several times.

Police charged James Michael Pitman, 30, of Pasadena, with first-degree burglary, third-degree burglary, fourth-degree burglary, theft, destruction of property and resisting arrest.

Investigators are continuing to search for the second suspect, according to the release.
