Donohoo Charged with Two Burglaries at Ocoee Middle School

Bradley County Sheriff’s detectives filed charges Monday against Marcus Dewayne Donohoo following two break-ins at Ocoee Middle School on Ocoee Street . The most recent break-in at the school occurred Sunday night and was caught on video by the school’s security system.

Donohoo was identified from the video.  He was picked up for questioning less than three hours after notification of the burglary by school personnel and gave statements related to Sunday night’s burglary and one that occurred on July 25th.   

Sheriff Tim Gobble pointed out Donohoo’s arrest was the result of the criminal investigations division, the corrections division, the patrol division, and crime scene processing personnel in the forensics lab all working together.  Detective Lt. Brian Quinn, Detective Joseph Lea, and patrol deputy J.J. Johnson arrived at the school around 7:45am Monday morning to begin the investigation.

Property that was taken from the school included cash, a DVD player, several cellphones that school administrators had taken from students, and a radio. A full recovery has been made.

Detectives also reported damage to three desks.   

Donohoo, 29, of a Cloverleaf Circle address, is charged with theft over $1,000, theft under $500, vandalism over $500 and two counts of burglary.
