Two individuals were arrested Monday in connection with a home invasion on Riverchase Drive in Lenoir City.

George Patrick Locklear, 19, of 1155 Jackson Bend Road, Lenoir City, was charged with resisting arrest/prevention of service and aggravated burglary. The other arrest was of a juvenile.
Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider said a frantic 911 call came in at approximately 9:31 p.m. The caller told authorities two men came into her residence and they were dressed in black.
The victim was able to flee the residence and a neighbor called 911.

Guider said deputies arrived on the scene at approximately 9:36 p.m. with K-9 units also responding. A perimeter was immediately set. K-9 units caught the juvenile subject in some nearby woods.  One of the K-9 units was deployed and hit on a scent that led into the lake. K-9 Diego jumped into the lake and swam to the bank on the other side of the cove. The K-9 then apprehended the suspect, later identified as Locklear, who was then taken into custody.

The sheriff noted the K-9 units receive water detection and apprehension training, which was key to the suspect being apprehended after fleeing through the water.
Both subjects were charged with aggravated burglary and both admitted to the crime, according to authorities.

Guider said the Loudon County Criminal Investigations Unit was currently investigating Locklear for several burglaries in the Loudon County area.

The CID unit interviewed Locklear further and was able to solve at least six other burglaries.
According to authorities, some items have been recovered and other arrests may be forthcoming.
The juvenile will face a Juvenile Court hearing.
