On Feb. 8, just before 1 a.m., Clayton County officers responded to a reported home burglary in the 2800 block of Woodfield Drive.
When officers arrived, they learned that the homeowner’s husband was on the phone with his wife, who was inside the home and reported that a man was at her bedroom door.
Because the husband did not have a key to the home, he permitted officers to force entry due to the urgent circumstance.
