Three People Arrested for Burglarizing Wheelchair-bound Man’s Home

Three suspects, two of them teenagers, have been arrested for a burglary in Vivian.

Caddo Sheriff Steve Prator says the burglary happened January 20 in the 200 block of East Oklahoma. The victim, who's wheelchair-bound, was at home when three males entered the house through an unlocked door.

The first male told the man not to move and asked for his money. Another male grabbed the man's wallet and money clip and removed the cash. Then all three ran off.

Evicence collected at the scene identified the man who took the money as 22-year-old John Smith, Jr. Two juveniles aged 15 and 16 were also identified. All three face a charge of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling. Smith was also charged with two counts of contributing to the delinquency of juveniles.
