GUYTON, GA (WTOC) -

On Sunday, the Effingham Co. Sheriff's Office locked up the second man they say tried to burglarize a Guyton store.

Deputies arrested James Harrison after they say he tried to break into the Rinku gas station on Jan. 15. A sheriff's deputy was driving by and noticed something suspicious. The men ran off into the woods, leaving an axe, a jacket and a book bag behind.

None of the men ever made it into the store and nothing was stolen.
