MACON, MO. -- A break-in at a Macon, Missouri residence lands one person behind bars facing felony charges.

Ryon Perkins, 30, of Macon is charged with first degree burglary, possession of a controlled substance and possession of burglary tools. He is being held in the Macon County jail under $20,000 bond.

According to court papers, Macon Police were called to a residence in the 100 block of Daughtery, concerning a burglary in progress.
