Police Cadet Accused Of Breaking Into Neighbor's House

A Gwinnett County police cadet was arrested after a former neighbor said he found the man in his home.

A former neighbor said he found Sean Filyaw, 24, inside his apartment on Mount Moriah Road removing a PlayStation.

According to the police report, Filyaw went into the apartment by climbing up a rear porch roof and removing a window screen to get inside.

A sergeant said Filyaw told them he was going to retrieve a video game system that belonged to him, but the man who lives there said he had no business breaking in.

Police said Filyaw was wearing his cadet uniform and had some police-issued equipment in his vehicle – which has since been returned to the Gwinnett County Police Department.

The Gwinnett County Police Department said that since Filyaw had not been convicted, he was given the option to resign. Police officials said they would not tolerate behavior that reflected negatively on the department.

Filyaw was charged with burglary. He is out on bond.
