St.Clair County Sheriffs Office: Arrest made in theft/stealing case in Collins

On Saturday, June 14, William Dane, 44, Flemington, was arrested on a St. Clair County warrant charging him with a class C felony of theft/stealing-value is $500 or more but less than $25,000. The charge stems from an investigation that started on June 13 when a St. Clair County deputy was on routine patrol near Collins. The deputy observed a stranded motorist pulled in a driveway alongside Highway 54, across the road from Mike's Wrecker Service. The deputy stopped to assist and two people were identified. The registration information from the vehicle was obtained and the deputy cleared the scene and continued patrolling. A follow up investigation by the deputy revealed evidence a stealing had occurred.

The investigation led to the recovery of several radiators and batteries at Dane’s residence in Polk County. Mike Garlett Sr. from Mike’s Wrecker Service was contacted and identified the property. The value of the items was estimated at $5,705.

On June 13, an arrest warrant was also issued for Brandon Burton, 30, Weaubleau, for his alleged involvement in the case. Burton is charged with a class C felony of theft/stealing. He has not been arrested at this time.
