Sumpter

A Marshalltown man has been arrested and charged after officers responded to a report of a burglary in process late Friday evening.

At 11:13 p.m., the Marshalltown Police Department received a call about the incident at 408 E. Linn St., according to a press release. When the first officer arrived on scene, he saw the suspect exiting the garage carrying property.

Sumpter has been charged with third degree burglary and interference with official acts. He was booked into the Marshall County Jail and subsequently bonded out on his charges.
