On Tuesday, December 11, 2018, at 5:09 p.m., Central Precinct officers responded to the report of a burglary in the 1900 block of Southeast Stark Street.
When officers arrived at the residence they contacted the homeowner. The homeowner informed responding officers that when they arrived home, they located an unknown person inside the residence.
Officers learned there should be no other people in the home and used a loud speaker to contact the suspect inside the home. The suspect eventually exited the location and was taken into custody without incident.
The suspect has been identified as 44-year-old Caleb J. Baker. Baker was lodged in the Multnomah County Jail on charges of Burglary in the First Degree, Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree and Trespass in the Second Degree.
Detectives with the Portland Police Bureau Detective Division's Burglary Taskforce and criminalists with the Forensics Evidence Division responded to continue the investigation.
