Man Released by Judge on own Recognizance and on State Probation Booked back into Jail

On August 12th, 2010, a Judge released Michael Wayne Birdwell from jail on his own recognizance;  Birdwell was awaiting trial for Burglary. He was also on State Probation for Domestic Assault. It did not take Birdwell long to become acquainted with law enforcement again.  

On August 31st, 2010 around midnight, Officer Griffie Briggs noticed a vehicle pull behind some semi-trailers near Cunningham Plaza on Fort Campbell Blvd. When Officer Briggs went to check out the suspicious vehicle, he encountered Michael Wayne Birdwell coming out of the wood line from behind the group of trailers.

Officer Briggs made contact with Birdwell and, in the mean time, Officer David Johnson searched the area where Birdwell exited from; three trailers were found with fresh pry marks on their locked doors along with yellow work gloves and a crow bar. Officer Briggs also located some prescription medicine in an unmarked pill bottle in Birdwell’s vehicle.
