Trail of debris left after home stripped of wiring, siding leads Morgan County deputies to suspect

LACEY'S SPRING, Alabama - Morgan County authorities followed a trail of debris left when a mobile home was vandalized and found a suspect in the burglary of a central heat and air conditioning unit, electrical wiring and aluminum siding, Sheriff Ana Franklin said.

Daniel Chace Goodner, 21, of 108 Dudley Road in Lacey's Spring was arrested and charged with third-degree burglary. He remains in Morgan County Jail, where he is being held on $2,500 bond, Franklin said.

The sheriff said the owner of the unoccupied mobile home went to check the property on Skyview Drive on Wednesday.

"She found that someone had taken the central heat and central air unit, stripped electrical wiring from the walls and removed aluminum siding from the outside of the mobile home," Franklin said. "A patrol deputy responded to take the report, and noticed there was a trail of debris leading from the vandalized mobile home to another location. Neighbors reported that they remembered seeing a local man in the area wearing work gloves."

An investigator was called to the scene and officers were able to track the debris left from stripping the mobile home to Goodner's home, where they found the property stolen from the mobile home in plain view.
