People arrested are innocent unless proven otherwise in court. Initial charges often change as a case progresses.
Albany police
Man arrested - Albany police arrested James Dean Maynard, 45, of Albany on first-degree burglary charges Monday. A woman who called police said friends told her her "ex" had walked in her home, where he had never lived, and was taking things. Maynard was lodged in the Linn County Jail.
Injury wreck - Albany officers cited a driver and a bicyclist Monday morning after the two collided in the 1600 block of Waverly Drive S.E.
The bicyclist, Sukhbev Gill, 55, was taken to Samaritan Albany General Hospital for treatment of a possible broken arm.
According to a police report, Gill was biking northbound in the southbound lane of travel on Waverly about 8:30 a.m. when he crossed in front of 16th Avenue. He was cited for failure to use the bike lane.
The driver, Harry Douglas McLeod, 66, was charged with rolling through the stop sign at 16th in his 1996 Chevrolet Blazer and striking the cyclist.
