Suspect Confesses To Burglaries In Perdido, Nokomis
January 7, 2018
A Bay Minette man has been arrested for multiple burglaries from Bay Minette to Perdido to Nokomis, AL.
Lewis Lamar Clayton Jr. of Bay Minette was booked into the Baldwin County Detention Center on five counts of burglary third degree. He was being held without bond.
The Baldwin County Sheriffs Office said the burlgaries involved forced entry into residences and garages. On January 2, game camera photographs were recovered from a victim’s residence off Highway 31 in Bay Minette showing a tall slender built white male suspect. Later in the day, Bay Minette Police officers observed a white male matching the description of the burglary suspect and performed a traffic stop on the suspect, later identified as Clayton. At the time of the traffic stop, he was wearing the same clothing as in the game camera photos.
Deputies said Clayton confessed to five reported burglaries, two unreported burglaries, and a burglary in Nokomis (Escambia County, AL). He confessed to knocking on the doors of residences to ensure that no one was home before breaking in. He primarily stole guns, TV’s and Christmas presents from under Christmas trees.
Clayton provided information regarding the locations of the stolen property from all of the offences. Sheriff’s investigators traveled to several residential and commercial locations and recovered 13 firearms, multiple items of lawn equipment, power tools and one television. Attempts to identify additional victims will be made and could result in additional charges.
If anyone has additional information about Clayton, contact Corporal Rob Lindell of the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office at (251) 972-8589 option 2.

Looks to be to old to be continuing a life of crime. Time to get your act together.
Cameras are nice. Clayton, not so much — or so it seems. (Even though someone is bound to justify his evil.)
David for better people
better and more cameras
Lock him up and hope he gets maximum sentences to run consecutively on each count. Society has no use for thugs.
