JACKSON, Tenn. — A man is now charged in a break-in that happened this summer after police say fingerprints link him to the scene.

Antonio Tipler

Antonio Tipler is now charged in the July 25 break-in at a Bayberry Drive home, according to court documents.

The property reported stolen was valued at over $8,000 and included four handguns, two TVs, video game consoles, jewelry and other items.

Police say the culprit gained entry by breaking through a double-pane glass door at the rear of the home.

Investigators collected three fingerprints from an inside pane of glass that would have been covered if the glass had not been broken, according to an affidavit.

Police say an FBI analysis identified the fingerprints as Tipler’s.

Tipler is charged with aggravated burglary.
