For immediate release:

On Wednesday August 6, 2008 at approximately 1:10 a.m., officers from the Orrville police department responded to the 300 block of South Main Street to investigate a complaint of glass breaking. Upon arrival at the business, the officers discovered a broken window at the BP gas station located at 304 South Main Street. The officers immediately requested back up from the Dalton police department as well as off duty personnel from Orrville.

 

The officers secured the scene and canvassed the area for suspects or witnesses. A witness identified a suspicious person observed in the area at the time of this incident. As a result of this tip and the officers’ field investigation, sufficient probable cause was established to arrest Shaun Robinson, 19, Brenden Siedel, 18, and Justin Murphy, 20, and to take into custody the two 17 year old juveniles for breaking and entering at the BP gas station. One of the juveniles was found to have a warrant from Medina County and was later turned over to the Medina County Sheriff’s Office.
