Rutherford County Sheriff's Arrest Man in Store Break In

Rutherford County -- February 13, 2023: On Thursday, February 2, 2023, deputies from the Rutherford County
Sheriff's Office were making

extra rounds at the Avondale Convenience Center. They were doing this because they had reports of people breaking
in after hours.

At about 1:30 a.m., when deputies were out on an extra patrol, they saw a man inside the convenience
store. The deputies were able to get in and catch the person. Stanley Ryan Weeks, who was 23 years old and from Forest City, was taken into custody and charged with felony breaking and entering. He was brought before a judge, who gave him a $25,000 unsecured bond.

Weeks didn't show up to court on Tuesday, February 7, 2023, so a $25,000 secured warrant was issued for his arrest.

On Sunday, February 12, 2023, deputies were able to locate and arrest Weeks. He is held at the Rutherford County Detention Center.
