A 27-year-old Birmingham man is under arrest after police say he assaulted an employee at a Vestavia Hills business during a break-in.
The burglary happened shortly before 9 a.m. Thursday at Leaf and Petal in the 300 block of Summit Boulevard in the Cahaba Heights community. Vestavia Hills police Capt. Shane Ware said the employee was taken to a local hospital for treatment and quickly released.
Sylvester Finney is charged with first-degree theft of property, third-degree robbery and third-degree burglary. A vehicle was taken during the break-in and assault but has since been recovered.
Finney fled the scene on foot but was captured within 15 minutes by patrol officers. He was held overnight in the Vestavia Hills City Jail and booked into the Jefferson County Friday just before 3:30 p.m. His bonds total $55,000.
The incident appeared to be a crime of opportunity and rare for that area. "This is very unusual for us,'' Ware said. “Cahaba Heights, like the rest of Vestavia Hills, is very safe.”
