On Monday August 3rd at 7:30am, a 12 year old resident was home alone in the area of Bell and Thompson Peak Parkway. The 12 year old heard a knock at the front door but did not answer it. Two adult males entered the backyard of the residence and attempted to break into the home. The 12 year old boy hid in a closet of the home and called 911.
The two suspects, Robbie Jay Johnson Jr. (10-23-78) and Cole Austin Lewallen (9-28-83) broke into the home and began to burglarize it. As Scottsdale police officers responded to the residence, the 12 year old boy stayed on the phone with the dispatcher.
The two suspects were contacted by officers as they exited the home. Suspect (Johnson) was taken into custody at that time. The second suspect (Lewallen) fled on foot through neighboring backyards. A short time later, Lewallen was located and apprehended by a police K9 in a backyard several houses away. He was treated and released at the hospital for injuries sustained during the arrest. The 12 year old boy was unharmed. Both suspects are in custody and being charged with multiple felonies.
