Trio Arrested for Multiple Burglaries in the Bradford and Gettysburg Areas

Ferguson, Schmidt, and Sargent

The Miami County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of the Darke County Sheriff’s Office has arrested Gabe P. Ferguson, twenty-one years of age of Bradford, Alex M. Schmidt, twenty-one years of age from Piqua, and Shane A. Sargent, nineteen years of age from Gettysburg, for multiple charges of burglary and breaking and entering.

The offenses involve several residential burglaries in the Village of Bradford and in the area of Gettysburg within the last two weeks. The matter has been turned over to the Darke County Prosecutor for charges relating to the conduct.

Detectives are still working to identify some of the recovered stolen property and additional charges may be forthcoming. It is believed that some of the unidentified property was stolen from vehicles in the Bradford area in which the victim(s) did not report the theft. We will be posting photos of the unidentified property on our Facebook page later today and will be made available to the media upon request.
