A 44-year-old Clute woman reported she came home at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday to find electronics on her living room floor, her son’s bedroom door closed and noises coming from the room, Officer Belinda Rickman said.
The woman heard her son’s shutters open and saw a man climb out the window with a large bag at her apartment in the 300 block of Hackberry Street, Rickman said. The woman then chased the man through the complex before losing him, she said.

Man arrested for evading arrest
