A man said he was in bed at about 7:30 a.m. Friday when an attempt was made to burglarize his home at The Oaks apartments off Gaines School Road, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The man said someone first knocked on his front door and then the back door, and upon getting out of bed he chased a young male away from a screen window that he was cutting, according to police.
A second suspect, who also ran, was sitting on some stairs leading to the parking lot, police said.
The suspect who was cutting the window screen was described as a black male in his 20s, about 6 feet tall and having an Afro hair style that was four to six inches long, police said.
