Man charged with Williams-Brice burglary

Police patrolling Williams-Brice Stadium over spring break found six TVs and two video game consoles missing from a players’ lounge.

USC police officers were walking through the stadium looking for the owner of a suspicious vehicle when they saw TVs missing from the walls, cords on the floor and cabinets opened in the football players’ lounge.

A Sony PlayStation, Xbox 360 and six flat-screen TVs were gone, according to an incident report.

Police arrested 41-year-old Manwell Bookhart, of Blythewood, in connection with the burglary. The suspicious vehicle wasn’t related to the theft.

He is charged with several counts of burglary, larceny and malicious injury to property. Bookhart was being held Sunday at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center on bonds totaling $300,000.
