Bryson, 39, of Wildwood Lake Road, was placed in custody.
The neighbor who initiated the response said the suspect had knocked on her door wanting to use the phone.  When she refused, the woman watched as he walked behind the home next door and forced entry through a rear door. Two doors were damaged but nothing was taken. 
Several pills were found in Bryson's possession.  He is charged with aggravated burglary and possession of schedule IV drugs.
Sheriff Jim Ruth said the neighbor did the right thing.  Ruth said she and the deputies are to be commended for stopping a burglary in progress.
The Bradley County Sheriff's Office has a network of over 60 neighborhoods throughout the county and city of Cleveland with active Neighborhood Watch Associations. Each is based on the concept of neighbors watching out for one another and reporting suspicious activity to law enforcement.
