Saline County deputies arrested a man on various requested charges of burglary, he allegedly committed at two different businesses.
According to the Saline County Sheriff's Office in the early morning hours of Wednesday, September 10, deputies were dispatched to McElderry Automotive (1912 W. Old 40 Highway) for a security alarm that was sounding off at the business.
When deputies arrived to the scene, it was determined there was evidence of damage on some vehicles at the business. Deputies did not find a suspect and left the scene.
However, at around 7:50 am that same day, an employee opening the business found a man 'possibly asleep inside one of the vehicles' owned by McElderry. Authorities then went back to the business and found a man walking around the area.
Authorities were able to arrest the man identified as 44-year old, Brent Corwin. After he was taken into custody, deputies learned Corwin had allegedly broke into 4 vehicles (damaging 2) and the building at McElderry.
Furthermore, Corwin had a warrant for his arrest out of Marion County and reportedly attempted to break into the business of Central States Enterprises (1908 W. Old 40 Highway), along with a vehicle on their property.
During the investigation, deputies were led to believe Corwin was responsible for the crimes at Central States Enterprises. He was booked into the Saline County Jail on the following requested charges:
Outstanding Warrant (Marion Co.), Burglary, 5 charges of Vehicle Burglary, 2 charges of Criminal Damage to Property and Attempted Burglary.
The Sheriff's Office also stated they recovered a high in value mountain bike that Corwin had. Deputies believe this bike was 'stolen' and is advising anyone who maybe missing this type of bike to contact the Sheriff's Office at (785) 826-6500.
