A day after a burglar was sent running from a Woodford County animal clinic, deputies have arrested the suspect in southern Kentucky Wednesday.
25-year-old Donnie Douglas Sparks, Junior has been arrested in connection to the recent burglaries at the Midway Small Animal Clinic, including one Tuesday night that was caught on camera.
On surveillance video, investigators say Sparks could be seen breaking into the animal clinic where he came face to face with a former Lexington police officer who was keeping watch inside. The retired officer volunteered to stay the evening at the clinic after two previous break-ins. The officer fought with Sparks until running off into the woods barefoot.
