The quick actions of a Mentmore resident whose mobile home was broke into, led to the arrest of Carlton Kaamassee July 3.

According to McKinley County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Nocona Clark, Dino Bailey was home when Kaamassee allegedly broke his window and kicked in the front door.

Any attempts to hold onto the suspect were thwarted when he ran off. But another deputy caught up with him and placed him in a patrol unit.

Bailey identified Kaamassee, 38, as the botched burglary suspect.

“On the front door of the mobile home there was evidence of forced entry as if the suspect kicked the front door from the outside in,” according to the deputy’s report. “The door had a shoe print with small squares with cross through the squares.”

There was about $300 worth of damages done to the mobile home.

Kaamassee’s clothes and shoes were collected as evidence. He was booked into the McKinley County Adult Dentention Center for burglary, breaking and entering, and criminal damapge to property.
