A Chapel Hill teenager has been charged with multiple felonies after a burglary in Carrboro on Tuesday morning.

Carrboro Police officials say 17-year-old Infinite Taylor, of Legion Road, has been charged after a three-hour search early Tuesday. Police say officers responded to a call of a burglary in progress just before 3:30 Tuesday morning. The suspect fled the scene as officers arrived in a vehicle stolen from the residence on Stratford Drive.

Police say the suspect crashed the vehicle a short distance away before fleeing into a wooded area on foot. Two joggers then alerted authorities of a suspicious person in the area as officers were looking for Taylor.

A K-9 unit from the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office and resources from Chapel Hill Police helped lead to the arrest of Taylor. He is now facing charges of first-degree burglary, larceny after breaking and entering, larceny of an automobile, injury to real property, resist, delay and obstruct an officer, no operator’s license, hit and run property damage and reckless driving to endanger.

Police say additional charges are pending as the investigation is ongoing.

Taylor is being held on a $50,000 secured bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday afternoon.

Taylor was arrested in December 2015 after he was found with approximately 2.6 grams of marijuana on the East Chapel Hill High School campus. Chapel Hill Police also charged Taylor, who was 16 at the time, after he was found in possession of a stolen laptop.

Officials with the Orange County Clerk of Court’s Office say Taylor was given a 45-day suspended sentence on those charges from Chapel Hill Police and placed on 12-months probation.
