Suspects arrested in Chevy Chase burglaries (Photos)

Eric A. Outlaw

Montgomery County Police have arrested two suspects in a string of Chevy Chase burglaries, many of which you may recall from my crime reports.

The first suspect (who wins the Crime Report Last Name of the Year Award), Eric A. Outlaw, 25, of the 1300 block of New York Avenue NE in the District, was identified by detectives who matched his fingerprint at several of the burglarized homes. They then caught up with him in-person, police say, when he allegedly attempted to burglarize two more homes on Shepherd Street with an accomplice. That alleged accomplice, Stephon E. Jones, 26, of the 1900 block of 16th Street SE, was arrested along with Outlaw.
