The Tuscaloosa Police Department says Dylan Alexander Joseph, 23, James Bernarel Maye, 19, and LaDarrius Tervelle Harrison, 19, were all taken into custody by Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s deputies following a pursuit early Saturday morning.

TPD said deputies initially received reports of break-ins in the Magnolia Park area off of Old Greensboro Road. They pursued the suspect SUV to an apartment complex on 18th Street East, where the three men were arrested.

After the suspects were taken into custody, deputies recovered items from vehicle burglaries in the county and the series of recent break-ins reported inside the city limits.

The three men were jailed on seven counts of breaking and entering a vehicle related to the county cases on Saturday, while TPD investigators worked to obtain warrants to charge them with five counts each of breaking and entering the vehicles in Ridgewood and Broadview.

TPD said Joseph and Maye were both served while still being held at the Tuscaloosa County Jail.

Additionally, Harrison was released on bond for the county charges, before turning himself in Wednesday afternoon on the new charges relating to the city cases.
