SUSPECT DESCRIPTION:
RESUME OF INCIDENT:
In January of this year, a resident of the 300 block of Van
Houten in the City of El Cajon began noticing items missing
from his home. In an attempt to catch someone stealing
property, he set up a surveillance camera in his home. The
surveillance camera captured images of an unknown suspect
in the residence. The victim of the theft did not know the
suspect. In an effort to identify the burglary suspect,
photos were placed on the El Cajon Police Department’s web
site.
On July 8, 2008, an El Cajon Resident contacted the police
department with information on this case. He had been on
the department’s web site, www.elcajonpolice.org, and
recognized the photo of the suspect from this case as a
person who frequented the gas station at Douglas and Main
Street. Detective Bob Wining learned that the suspect may
live at an apartment complex in the area. Det. Wining was
ultimately able to identify the suspect as William David
Meggett, 11-14-78. Meggett was arrested for residential
burglary and booked into County Jail.
People are encouraged to go to www.elcajonpolice.org and

in other unsolved cases. With the assistance of the
public, we will be able to identify additional suspects who
have victimized members of the community. Individuals with
information on any of the cases on the web site can contact
the detectives listed with each case. People can also
remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers’ anonymous
tip lines at (888) 580-TIPS or sending an email or text to
