Appleton City Man Arrested On Stealing Charge

Timmy Mcintire

Early Saturday morning, Oct. 5, Timmy Mcintire, 21, Appleton City, was arrested on a felony charge of first degree burglary following an incident at 312 West Second Street, Appleton City. A deputy responded and met with residents of the home, Janet White and Sarissa Loney, who explained Mcintire was intoxicated and was asked to leave several times, but he refused. Sheriff Keeler said the individuals explained there was an altercation and after, they were able to get Mcintire out of the residence. White and Loney stated Mcintire was standing on the porch and started punching the window and broke it. They said Mcintre was reaching through the broken window trying to grab them and eventually entered the residence and there was another altercation prior to Mcintire being pushed out of the residence. Mcintire fled when a call to law enforcement was made. 

Mcintire was located behind his residence on First Street. He stated he broke the window by accident and never “touched” White or Loney. Mcintire said he was “just” trying to get his new hat before he left. He was placed into custody and booked into the jail. Mcintire was released later the same day. Formal charges are pending.
