SALISBURY - A Salisbury man, on the run since April 21 for breaking into an apartment on N. Jackson Street, is now behind bars.

Police say Demario Brown, 27, of 1214 W. Horah Street, is one of two men who broke into the apartment after watching the elderly resident and a friend go outside for a walk.

When they returned they saw two men come running from the back door.  The friend tried to catch up to the two, but they managed to get away.  Apparently surprised by the return of the resident, police say Brown only got away with 15 assorted DVD's.
