Charges have been filed against a suspect involved in an evening burglary at a local shop earlier this month.
Wrangell Police Department brought two class B misdemeanor counts against David M. Johnson, 45, for his alleged involvement in the January 3 event. Security footage taken inside Silver Liningz Boutique that evening had recorded an individual entering through an unlocked storefront window. Closing the window behind them, the person appeared to take some items from the shop before exiting through the front door about six minutes later.
A summons to appear in court was delivered to Johnson last Friday, to face one count each of second-degree criminal trespass and theft in the fourth degree. In its complaint, police state the total retail value of the items taken totaled $131.98, and that while speaking with the suspect he had admitted to the interviewing officer his part in that chain of events.
A court appearance has been set for January 30 inside the Wrangell courtroom at 10 a.m.
