On Wednesday, Jan. 17, at 1:19 p.m., Georgetown Police were dispatched to a residence on East Main Street for a report of a breaking and entering in progress.
Upon arrival, responding officers determined that the break had just occurred and observed footprints in the fresh snow leading from the home.
Officers also noticed a motor vehicle pulling out of an adjacent parking lot and conducted a motor vehicle stop. Following an on scene investigation, police placed SETH BARNES and JESSICA BARNES under arrest.
They were transported to the Middleton Jail and House of Correction where SETH BARNES is being held on $25,000 cash bail and JESSICA BARNES is being held on $5,000 cash bail.
