Burch will eventually be moved to Gwinnett to answer to escape and burglary charges.
Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson reported last week Burch is under investigation for burglary after a woman’s home off Harbins Road was ransacked, and items, including her children’s class rings, were stolen.
