MADISON COUNTY – The Madison County Sheriff’s Office said they have arrested two suspects for breaking and entering a vehicle on Wednesday. They anticipate the arrests will help solve numerous other vehicle break-ins.

Heather Renee Watwood, 34, and Michael Douglas Godsey, 27, was arrested after deputies responded to the area of Mt. Lebanon Road near Meridianville to a possible residential burglary.

Authorities said deputies made contact with the victims that gave them descriptions of a male and female that attempted to gain entry to a residence. Deputies canvassed the area and eventually located the male and female suspects attempting to leave the area on stolen bicycles.
