Fulton man arrested during attempted home break-in

Police arrested a man while he allegedly tried breaking into a home in east Fulton.

The department said in a news release Tuesday night that Ronald Hook, 49, attempted to break into a home in the 900 block of East Morningside Drive around 8:30 p.m. Officers took Hook into custody there, but the release said Hook “assaulted an officer” during processing.

Hook was arrested finally arrested on suspicion of burglary, fourth-degree assault, property damage, violation of a restraining order and assault on a law enforcement officer.

Court records show Hook was served with a restraining order on March 23. A full order of protection against Hook was issued Tuesday, as well.

Hook also faces charges of peace disturbance and resisting arrest from a previous incident with Fulton police last October, along with a pending third-degree assault charge from August.
