Marianna, Fla. (WDNews) — A Chipley man is in custody after allegedly breaking into a home in Marianna while under the influence of an unknown substance, authorities said.
Marianna Police responded to a home on the 4200 block of 9th Avenue on March 19 after witnesses reported a man forcing his way inside through a window. Officers arrived to find a broken window with blood at the scene.
Following a trail of blood inside the home, officers found the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Tyrome Xavier Sharpe. Authorities say Sharpe appeared to be in a paranoid state due to drug use when he ran through the window.
When officers attempted to take him into custody, Sharpe resisted and tried to flee into another area of the home. After a struggle, police were able to restrain him. EMS transported him to a local hospital for treatment before he was booked into the Jackson County Correctional Facility.
Sharpe is facing multiple charges, including burglary, resisting an officer with violence, and criminal mischief over $1,000.
