AMARILLO, TEXAS -- A man already on parole was caught by police Wednesday afternoon breaking into a home.

It all happened at about 1:50 p.m. in the 2700 block of San Jacinto. A caller described a man climbing over a six-foot wooden fence and possibly breaking into a residence.

Upon arrival, police found a man walking out of the living room toward the kitchen with what appeared to be socks on his hands.

The man was taken into custody and as officers removed the handcuffs to be readjusted, Brown resisted arrest and tried to get away, police said. He was finally re-cuffed and placed in a patrol car.

Gary Wayne Brown, 55, of Amarillo was arrested for Burglary of a Habitation charge, Resisting Arrest and for an outstanding Parole warrant on a original charge of Burglary.
