A Nevada resident has been charged with burglary and theft after deputies received a call regarding a storage unit with missing items. According to Sheriff’s Office officials, deputies were dispatched on 7/29/2016 to a storage unit that had been burglarized on West Hickory Street just outside the city limits of Nevada.
