Late Thursday morning, deputies responding to a report of a suspicious bicycle resting against a home in a Sarasota neighborhood discovered the home was recently burglarized when they arrived on the scene, according to a news release from the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office.
So deputies established a perimeter to snare the crook.
That’s when the lawmen got lucky: One of the responding patrol units saw a man, later identified as Brian Palasz, 19, enter another home while trying to elude authorities — and commit another burglary, the release stated.
Palasz was taken to the slammer and is charged with burglary of residence (2 counts) in addition to resisting arrest without violence.
