Charges against a Georgia man arrested in Anna Maria were reduced Oct. 10.
The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office arrested Camren Fambrough, 21, of Canton, Georgia, Aug. 27 for carjacking with a weapon, burglary, criminal mischief and resisting arrest but he now faces lesser charges of attempted burglary of an occupied conveyance in place of carjacking and criminal mischief.
Fambrough allegedly attempted to gain entry to an occupied home in the 200 block of Magnolia Avenue by hurling a rock at a door and then trying to open the door, according to MCSO records.
The MCSO said the suspect ran and unsuccessfully attempted to force his way into an occupied vehicle.
On Oct. 10, the state attorney’s office reduced the charges to include attempted burglary of an occupied conveyance and criminal mischief.
If convicted of attempted burglary, he could face up to 15 years in prison.
If convicted of criminal mischief, he could face up to five years in prison.
Fambrough posted a $17,500 bond and was arraigned Oct. 28, at the Manatee County Judicial Center in Bradenton.
