(KMZA)--A Manhattan man is facing charges in the aggravated burglary of a Pottawatomie County residence.

Pottawatomie County Sheriff Greg Rait says the sheriff’s department received a report of a residential burglary in progress in the 54-hundred block of Taylor’s View Road, in rural Manhattan, shortly after 4:00 last Thursday morning.

Riat says the victim discovered an unknown male inside their residence.

When discovered, the man fled from the residence. Various items were discovered missing from the residence believed to have been taken by the suspect.

With tips from area residents and evidence from the scene, Riat says they were able to develop a suspect, and around 1:00 that afternoon the male suspect was located near the same area.

Mark Burghart was taken into custody on charges of aggravated burglary, theft and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was booked into the Pottawatomie County Jail. Bond was set at $15,000.
