A Murphysboro man awaiting sentencing for a previous crime is back in custody.

Murphysboro Police say 22-year old Garrett Peterman was found inside a residence in the 500 block of Murphy St. just before 5:30 last night.

Neighbors had reported seeing Peterman enter the residence with a flashlight. Officers found Peterman hiding and took him into custody, and later found items that Peterman had stolen from the home.

Peterman is being held in the Jackson County Jail awaiting a court appearance. He was free on bond awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to felony stalking in November.
