Arrest made in burglaries
Published Saturday, September 6, 2008
NATCHEZ — Two downtown businesses were burglarized this week and police say they have the man responsible.
Alonzo M. Hoye, 32, 9 Prentiss St., was arrested Monday while jumping out of the broken window of Natchez Coffee Company at 5:12 a.m. Friday he was charged with burglary of a business.
Hoye originally told police officers his name was Michael Williams, but his Mississippi Department of Corrections Discharge Certificate, which was in his wallet, proved otherwise.
“He was recently released from the penitentiary,” Natchez Police Chief Mike Mullins said.
Thanks in part to the watch he was wearing, police were also able to tie Hoye to an August 29 burglary of a jewelry store.
“We recovered some of the jewelry from his possession,” Mullins said.
While Hoye allegedly stole over a thousand dollars worth of merchandise from the jewelry store, Mullins said, nothing was taken from the Natchez Coffee Company.
“There’s not much of value he could have walked out with, but he didn’t walk out with so much as a Coke or a base ball hat,” Natchez Coffee Company owner Bill Furlow said.
However, there was a five-minute gap between the time the store’s alarm sounded and when the police arrived, so Furlow said he knows that Hoye spent time inside the store.
Although police did recover some of the jewelry from Hoye, Mullins does not know how much more they can get back.
“Normally the individuals in situations like this tend to sell the items very quickly,” Mullins said.
However, anyone who received the jewelry could be charged with receiving stolen property, Mullins said.
Hoye is being held on $35,000 bond for the Natchez Coffee Company burglary and bond has not been set for the jewelry store burglary.

"Hoye originally told police officers his name was Michael Williams, but his Mississippi Department of Corrections Discharge Certificate, which was in his wallet, proved otherwise."
Wow. Committing crimes while having your Dept. of Corrections inmate card on you then lying to the police about who you are as if you won't be searched and they wouldn't find out. Priceless.

They actually tell about maybe one-third of what goes on in Natchez unless it,s who,s seeing who...ha. It,s always been a tick-a-lock town as far as that goes.

Wouldn't this be considered looting and not bugulary? Was this not during the emergency order?

Tie him to a tree on the coast and it will cost us a lot less to take care of him.

Stupid criminals make police work a lot easier. If he had not tried to keep some of the jewelry, maybe he would not be in soooo much hotter water...

Maybe the NPD should change their names to Natchez Coffee Company Security! It seems they are a lot eager to protect businesses than we private citizens.
With all of the protection the businesses are receiving and the taxes they are saving with the new tax breaks the city just gave them, maybe they could have just given Mr. Hoye a job at the company.
Probably as a Natchez Coffee Company Security Officer; with his existing ID, he certainly qualifies.

the article says it was an alarm trigger. get an alarm system that monitors and NPD might show up at your house when it goes off.

If doughnuts are served at the coffee house, Mr Hoye is dumber than we think; it's like breaking directly into the police station during their endless coffee break.
Just think, the NPD are trying to take credit for the "arrest." (Ha!)
