• Deputy Brandon Gullett was dispatched to a residence on Shady Lane on July 15 for a report of a burglary which had already occurred. The complainant first advised that someone had struck a mailbox at the corner of Shady Lane and Hurricane Creek Rd., knocking it into a field.

The complainant had not been at the residence for a week. The deputy was advised that a 2500 gallon water tank next to a well house had been stolen. A shed next to the house had been broken into and someone had rummaged through the contents. Several items were missing, including over 2000 rounds of various sizes of ammunition. 

A rear door of the residence had a window busted out and a side window screen was removed and damaged and the window raised about 12 inches. The upstairs master bedroom door was damaged and left open.
