A Georgia man has been arrested for a string of
robberies in St. Joe Beach and Cape San Blas.
The
Gulf County sheriff’s office has linked 40 year old Kenneth David Regan from
Bainbridge, Georgia to at least seven separate residential burglaries.
Four
of the burglaries occurred in the St. Joe Beach area and three on Cape San
Blas.
Numerous
televisions and other household items were stolen.
Investigators
noticed similarities in how each burglary was committed and suspected all were
committed by the same person.
Investigators
working one of the burglaries realized the suspect had injured himself during
the break-in.
That
afternoon deputies attempted to apprehend a wanted fugitive from Georgia for
unrelated charges.
The
fugitive, Kenneth David Regan was apprehended; at the time of his arrest he had
a severe laceration to his left forearm.
Through
further investigation, Investigators learned Mr. Regan had sold two televisions
to a local pawn shop.
They
also developed physical evidence that connected Regan to one of the burglaries
on St. Joe Beach by searching a location he stayed at in Mexico Beach.
The
Gulf County Sheriff’s office recently also received FDLE laboratory reports
which identified Regan through a DNA match to the other burglaries.
Regan
is currently incarcerated in the state of Georgia on the unrelated charges and
will be extradited back to Gulf County once the charges are resolved.
