Decatur man arrested again after failing to appear on burglary charges
Jun. 5—A Decatur man was arrested Tuesday on failure to appear warrants for 2024 charges of third-degree burglary and possession of burglary tools and remained in the Morgan County Jail without bail Wednesday afternoon, according to jail records. An alias warrant issued by the Morgan County Circuit Court on May 28 ordered the arrest of 61-year-old Richard Gonzalez. His bail had been revoked a day earlier for committing "one or more new crimes while released on bond," according to an order from Circuit Judge Stephen F. Brown. On Jan. 20, 2024, Gonzalez and another suspect were arrested for allegedly burglarizing a detached garage in the 100 block of Daniel Street Southwest, according to a Decatur police affidavit. Gonzalez was found inside the residence. A female victim provided police with "photos of the suspects inside the garage removing several pre-hung doors," according to Decatur police officer Thomas Kirby. "The suspects had placed six pre-hung (doors) from the garage on a small trailer that was attached to a white Ford E-350 van that was registered to Gonzalez." Gonzalez was released from the Morgan County Jail the next day on a $2,500 bond, court records show, and was scheduled to appear before a judge on March 14, 2024. The latest charges against Gonzalez stem from a May 14 arrest for possession of controlled substances. An affidavit said Decatur police investigators served a search warrant at his home on Danville Road Southwest on April 28 and found marijuana and pregabalin pills — an anticonvulsant classified as a Schedule V controlled substance under federal and state law. Gonzalez was charged with two counts of possession of controlled substances, second-degree possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was released on a $2,600 bond two days after his arrest. His arraignment for the third-degree burglary charge is scheduled for June 24 in Brown's courtroom. — or 256-340-2442.
