A 21-year-old Roanoke Rapids man who allegedly fled from a burglary scene Tuesday, vowing he wouldn't go back to jail, was caught shortly after fleeing and jailed.

Roanoke Rapids Police Officer Jason Williams apprehended Kenneth Levernon Patterson, of Madison Street, at the Kentucky Fried Chicken and charged him with several counts relating to the burglary at Riverpointe Mobile Home Park and the theft of credit cards from October 6.

Captain Andy Jackson said shortly before 9:15 a.m. the maintenance manager for the trailer park allegedly saw Patterson inside a mobile home and startled him. Patterson fled, reportedly saying he wasn't going back to jail.

Williams charged Patterson with forced burglary, two counts of trespassing, a count of escape from custody-resisting arrest, two counts of larceny and three counts of possession of stolen property.

Jackson said it was not clear what the second trespassing charge was for but that two of the possession of stolen goods counts were from a car break-in on Jackson Street in which two credit cards were stolen.

Patterson was jailed on $3,500 secure bond.
