“Deputies investigated until they identified a possible location on Ms. Paul’s Lane in Greenville,” said the sheriff’s department on its Facebook page. “Deputies searched the residence, at which time they discovered David Ray Justice, Jr., 53, of Greenville hiding in a bedroom closet.”
He was charged with three counts of felony breaking and/or entering, four counts of felony larceny after breaking and/or entering, felony larceny of a firearm, felony obtaining property by false pretense, and failure to appear.
