A foot chase today led to the arrest of a Garysburg man on a breaking and entering charge, according to the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office.

Detective Rich Somogyi said in a press release Deputy Joe Puhak stopped a vehicle in the Weldon area. 

The driver and occupants fled on foot. Puhak chased them and caught Tavio Lamont Taylor, 24.  Puhak's investigation led to Taylor's arrest for several outstanding warrants, one of which was for armed robbery.

Somogyi assisted Puhak with the investigation, which led to Taylor's arrest for breaking and entering and larceny after breaking and entering. 

Taylor was charged with breaking into a residence and taking property in the Weldon area.  Taylor was placed in the Halifax County Jail under a $22,500  bond and is scheduled to appear in Court on Sept. 30.
