Saturday burglary charge lands Duncan man in jail

DUNCAN — A break-in at a Duncan home has put a Stephens County man behind bars on $100,000 bond.

Derek Lee Davison, 45, of Duncan, made his initial appearance in Stephens County District Court on Monday for a felony count of first-degree burglary, records indicate.

Davison is accused of breaking into a home at 1411 N. 21st Street around 11:55 p.m. Friday. A woman at the home told Duncan Police Officer Kaleb Keplinger that her ex-boyfriend, Davison, came into the house and threw a 44-ounce drink at her while she was asleep on the couch. He asked her where her son was and she said he wasn’t there and that Davison needed to leave, the probable cause affidavit states.

The woman said Davison went out the back door and as she tried to shut and lock it, he kicked the door open before she, again, told him to leave and locked the deadbolt. She said a couple of minutes later, a window in the living room broke, the affidavit states. The woman has an active protective order against Davison. She said she was scared he was “going to hurt her or possibly kill her,” Keplinger stated. She said she believed he’d come in through the back door or bathroom window.

Keplinger stated there was a baseball-sized hole in the second window south of the front door and fresh broken glass on the ground.

Officers went to Davison’s home and his mother told them he was in the shower before inviting them inside. Davison told police he’d gone to the woman’s house the night before and previously to work on the house, according to the affidavit. He denied coming over to the house that night and denied breaking the window, Keplinger stated. His mother told police her son had left for a short time before returning to the house that evening. He was arrested and booked into jail.

Held on $100,000 bond with the order to have no contact with the woman, Davison returns to court at 9 a.m. Dec. 20 for his preliminary hearing conference, records indicate.
