Arrest made in investigation of Paul George home burglary

The AP reports Wednesday that an arrest has been made in the burglary of Paul George's home in May.

Police have arrested a man in connection with the April burglary at the Indianapolis home of Indiana Pacers star Paul George.

Indianapolis police say 43-year-old Michael Lewis of Whitestown was arrested Wednesday on burglary and theft charges for the April 28 break-in during which George's platinum All-Star ring valued at $15,000 was taken.

Police say detectives believe the burglary was random act and that Lewis didn't specifically target George's home, which is on the city's northeast side.

Police said that none of the items has been found, and that Lewis was jailed Wednesday morning. 

George is recovering from his fractured leg he suffered during a Team USA exhibition earlier this summer. He's expected to miss the entire 2014-2015 NBA season. But hey, at least 2K Sports have hooked him up with a mobile gaming rig to keep him occupied while he travels with the team.
