08/31/2018 12:00 AMAn East Haven Police K-9 team successfully apprehended a man reported earlier for breaking into an occupied East Haven home. The 31-year-old suspect was soon after turned over to a parole officer.
On Aug. 30, officers were dispatched to an Edgar Street address for a report of a burglary in process. Upon officers arrival, a perimeter was immediately set up, and contact was made with a female complainant. The complainant told officers that a tall white male with a beard entered her residence through a basement window, walked up her basement stairs, and attempted to gain access to the rest of the house, but was unsuccessful because of a locked door at the top of the stairs.
The resident stated that the male fled the residence while she was on the phone with 911 dispatchers; she last saw him running up Donald Street toward Waldo Street. A description of the individual was given out to responding officers, including Officer Kevin McGuire and K-9 Ace, who also arrived on scene.
K-9 Ace led McGuire and Officer John Fraenza to the rear of 42 Waldo Street, where they found an individual matching the broadcasted description exiting the rear of the residence. The individual, identified as John Doheny, was immediately detained without further incident. The complainant positively identified Doheny as the individual she saw fleeing her residence.
At that time, Doheny was placed under arrest and transported to the East Haven Police Department for processing. During the course of an interview, Doheny fully admitted to his involvement in the burglary. Doheny was charged with burglary in the second degree and was turned over to the New Haven Parole Office, which took him into custody for a parole violation. Doheny is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, Sept. 12.
