A Marion juvenile was taken into custody today in Livingston County on burglary charges.
According to Devin Brewer, chief deputy of Livingston County Sheriff's Department, the 15-year-old male suspect was apprehended in Salem. The teen was wanted in Crittenden County on the suspicion of committing a burglary at a residence on Main Street in Marion.
Sheriff's departments in both Livingston and Crittenden counties and Marion City Police received a tip that the suspect was hiding at a residence on Mill Street in Salem. Officers did not find the suspect there, but while at the location, they received an anonymous call from a citizen that a suspicious person was walking down Highland Avenue in the same general area.
Livingston County Sheriff Bobby Davidson located the subject and identified him as the suspect being sought for the alleged burglary. The juvenile was armed with a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol.
The suspect was then taken into custody.
As the investigation continued, officers were able to recover all of the property that had been reportedly stolen from the residence in Marion, including six firearms.
The juvenile was lodged in McCracken County Regional Detention Center.
