A man faces 10 charges, including six felonies, after allegedly going on a five-hour crime spree in a Cobb County neighborhood Monday morning.
Kendel Gerald Williams, 26, of New Jersey, was armed with a gun and knife when he broke into several cars and tried to enter multiple homes off Old Lost Mountain Road in unincorporated Powder Springs, police told Channel 2 Action News.
A resident called 911 after seeing a man try to break into her house on her Ring doorbell camera, Channel 2 reported. Cobb police set up a perimeter that allegedly led Williams to run into a backyard to hide.

However, he choose poorly, since the backyard belonged to a retired Cobb officer, who helped the active officers track him down, the news station reported.
Williams is accused of hiding in the retired cop’s pickup truck before moving to a shed, where he was eventually taken into custody, Channel 2 reported. Several items stolen from the neighborhood were found on him, police said.
The felony charges Williams faces include both first- and second-degree burglary, three counts of entering autos and one count of possession of a weapon during a crime, Cobb jail records show. He remains in jail without bond.
