September 10, 2018
Two young Cantonment men were arrested for two burglaries after a tip to Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers.
LaDarryl Derrell Paige and Larry Jerome Clay, both 19, were each charged with two counts of burglary and two counts of criminal mischief with property damage.
The burglaries occurred at adjacent townhomes on Balfour Place off Gulf Beach Highway. At both homes, kitchen drawers and cabinets and upstairs bedroom drawers were riffled, but nothing was taken, according to an arrest report.
