Nevada police officers report the arrest of a 17-year-old man as a suspect in the alleged burglary of a home in the 700 block of E. Lee Street a week ago. Chief Graham Burnley says the the property owner told officers a door of the home was kicked in and the home entered unlawfully Memorial Day. A witness told officers he knew the suspect was known to him as Anthony and fled the home when the witness shouted at him.
The identification included witnesses identifying the suspect from a photo lineup that led to the arrest of the suspect near Washington and Hickory and police identified him as Anthony D. Gottfried. A felony count alleging second-degree burglary was filed against Gottfried and Chief Burnley says he remains in custody at the Vernon County jail in lieu of a $10,000.00 bond, cash or surety.
