An alert neighbor helped Bulloch County sheriff's deputies find a man suspected of trying to break into a home Wednesday morning, the sheriff's office said. At 11:51 a.m. Wednesday, deputies responded to a home in the 3000 block of Mill Creek Road for a residential burglary alarm. As deputies arrived on scene, a neighbor told them that a white male had been seen walking away from the home where the alarm had been activated and into nearby woods, Sheriff Lynn Anderson said in a news release issued Thursday.
