A Decatur man was arrested Thursday after DNA collected from the scene of a burglary matched his DNA in the CODIS criminal DNA database, Decatur police said.

Eric Deondre Warner, 35, of 416 10th Ave. N.W., was charged Thursday with third-degree burglary, police said.

On Monday, DNA collected from the scene of the burglary matched with his DNA, which was on file in the CODIS database, police said.

On April 19, a burglary in the 400 block of Finley Drive N.W. was reported to police, reports show. The victim said items were taken from the home and it was "completely ransacked," according to reports.

Investigators were able to collect DNA evidence from the scene, which ultimately led to Warner being developed as a suspect, police said.

Warrants for Warner's arrest were obtained Thursday and were served on him in the Morgan County Jail, where he was incarcerated for other charges, police said.

Bail for his new burglary charge was set at $2,500.
