He Was Removed From the Field Minutes After His Most Recent Burglary Play.
As reported by CWB Chicago:
A serial burglar who has “starred” in two previous CWBChicago reports is behind bars again. Chicago cops arrested him minutes after he burglarized a Wrigleyville apartment this month, prosecutors said.
We first wrote about James Walker in 2016 after undercover cops working to crack a persistent burglary problem in Lincoln Park arrested him as he left the scene of a residential burglary in the 2600 block of North Wayne. Walker, who was carrying a laptop, a cellphone, wireless speakers, an iPod, and credit cards in another man’s name, would later plead guilty to theft.
He was on parole for that case when Chicago cops arrested him for burglary again in August 2017. Witnesses reported seeing him force open a window to enter an apartment in the 5000 block of North Glenwood. CPD arrived just as Walker was leaving and arrested him after a brief foot chase.
After the cops discovered two MacBooks inside his backpack, Walker allegedly admitted that he stole them so he could sell them, asking, “How else would I eat?”
He received four years for that break-in.
"How else would I eat? " I guess they'll feed him in prison.
