Four out-of-town people were arrested early Thursday morning in connection with a burglary at a Sedalia business.
According to a Sedalia Police Department news release, two SPD officers were on routine patrol in the area of West Main Street when they heard an alarm at Liquor Locker, 513 W. Main St. Initial investigation revealed the business had recently been broken into as the drive-thru window was broken out.
SPD contact the business’ management, who responded to the scene and provided officers with video footage. The release states a white Ford Edge with a clear license plate number was visible, as was a white man breaking the window and entering the business. The female driver could also be seen.
Information was sent to officers and shortly after receiving the information, an officer in the area of 16th Street and Grand Avenue observed the suspect vehicle leaving a business in the area. He stopped the vehicle, which had four subjects inside. Investigation revealed it was the same vehicle involved in the burglary. All four subjects were arrested.
Christopher M. Evans, 18, of St. Joseph, has been charged with second degree burglary, second degree property damage, and stealing. He has been issued a $5,000 bond, cash or surety. An arraignment took place Friday morning.
Christina A. White, 17, of St. Joseph, has been charged with stealing and second degree burglary. She has been issued a $5,000 bond, cash or surety. An arraignment took place Friday morning.
Cassidy R. Doll, 22, of Stover, has been charged with second degree burglary, second degree property damage, and stealing. He has been issued a $5,000 bond, cash or surety. An arraignment took place Friday morning.
Evans, White and Doll were all taken to the Pettis County Jail while a fourth subject, a 17-year-old female, was taken to the SPD station to be interviewed by a detective.
According to the release, she confessed to being in the vehicle when the burglary happened. She also mentioned another business within Pettis County or the City of Sedalia that had also been burglarized and an undetermined amount of money was taken. Jones was later taken to the jail.
Online court records do not show any formal charges for the fourth subject.
