Solsberry men behind bars following break-in

Gary Sturgeon-Morris, 19, and Jarrod L. Westfall, 18, both from Solsberry, were booked into the Greene County Jail on preliminary charges of burglary, attempted theft and criminal mischief.

Deputy Jeremy Inman and Rick Marques responded to an active alarm inside the Solsberry Mini-Mart at approximately 12:43 a.m. on Thursday.

Upon their arrival, the officers reported finding a metal window vent cover had been taken out of a window and the inside piece of the window cover was busted out of the window.

Inman reported they located a bag of tools, used in the burglary, that was still inside the store.

The deputies continued to investigate and after talking to Sturgeon-Morris and Westfall, the two were taken into custody and transported to jail.

Inman said the alarm system was checked and they determined the alarm was activated before the suspects made it into the main part of the store. He said when they walked into a doorway, a motion sensor activated and set off the alarm.

The bond for both suspects was set at $15,000 after they were booked in at 3:50 a.m.
