DORSET TOWNSHIP — Two shotguns reported stolen March 4 from a Dorset Township woman, were found a couple days later inside her barn, according to the Ashtabula County Sheriff’s Department.
The gun owner’s 46-year-old son, who also lives at the Mells Road residence, asked his mother to check for missing items in the house after he discovered an unfamiliar bicycle sitting by their porch. The son also discovered nails around a kitchen window had been bent over.
The suspect is Brian M. Waldron, 20, 1132 Old Kyle Road, Dorset Township. He was arrested after turning himself in Monday to the Sheriff’s Department for burglary to commit theft and two counts of theft without consent.
On Wednesday, the son called his 19-year-old niece, who also lives at the residence, to inform her of the theft. The niece later told her uncle that a male friend told her Waldron had offered to sell him two shotguns, according to the report. When deputies questioned the male friend, he said Waldron told him he put the shotguns in the barn, wrapped in a blanket, and also stole a camcorder and an electronic game system.
The uncle later recovered the shotguns from the barn, according to the report.
According to reports, the niece formerly dated Waldron, who had been in the house in the past.
Waldron told deputies after he learned the police had been called in, he threw the camcorder and game system into the trash. Those items have not been recovered.
