>A Macon burglary suspect on Tuesday denied his identity in court, burst into tears and told a judge that police beat him and shot him in his own home.

>Christopher Poole faces several charges after allegedly forcing his way into a home Monday afternoon and then refusing to come out.

>He appeared before a magistrate judge Tuesday afternoon to face charges of burglary, obstruction of a law enforcement officer, and terroristic threats.

>But when magistrate Barbara Harris asked the suspect if he was Christopher Poole, he said, "No." Harris then asked a police officer, who confirmed the suspect's identity.

>When Harris read the charges against him, Poole spoke up: "I was just sitting there and got shot." Then he started crying. He also claimed that both of his hands were broken.

>The Bibb County Sheriff's Office's account of his arrest doesn't mention Poole being shot and said he was not injured. The suspect limped in court, but had no visible injuries.

>Christopher Poole in Bibb County Magistrate Court on Tuesday.

>Harris set $12,850 bond for Poole, and scheduled a Nov. 2 commitment hearing for investigators to explain the charges.

>As a deputy led him out of the courtroom after the hearing, Poole said, "you don't have to drag me, I can walk."

>He added, "You all just beat me and shoot me in my own house."

>On Monday, the sheriff's office says Poole, 36, remained in a home on Decatur Avenue for about four hours before surrendering.

>He is being held in the Bibb County jail.
