EPSO: Criminal duo, including one ‘prolific offender,’ arrested after breaking into home
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- The El Paso County Sheriff's Office (EPSO) says that they've arrested a man and woman after they allegedly broke into a home off Loomis Avenue.
Deputies say they were called out just after midnight on Aug. 31 after a caller reported seeing the two walking around a property before entering the home. The home was undergoing renovations and had been targeted in break-ins before, EPSO said.
When deputies arrived, they say they found 46-year-old Jennifer Clark and 45-year-old Andrew Bicknell inside the home.
“This is an example of the importance of strong community partnerships, neighborhood watch groups, and home security and surveillance," said Sheriff Joseph Roybal in a press release.
Clark was taken to the El Paso County Jail on charges of first-degree criminal trespass and obstructing government operations. She was released on a PR bond, EPSO said.
Bicknell was booked on charges of first-degree criminal trespass and obstructing government operations. EPSO says he is currently being held on a no-bond parole violation warrant.
EPSO described Bicknell as a "prolific offender" who has been to El Paso County Jail 26 times since 1996.
