Stow Police Dog Helps In Arrest of Three for Theft

The dog helped officers in the May 18 arrest of three Stow men, who are charged with various misdemeanors in connection with a string of car break-ins.

A Muirwood Place resident reported to police that he noticed people breaking into cars on his street. The resident shouted at the suspects and when police arrived, the suspects fled.

Joseph Conor Bury, 19, of Stow was charged with theft, underage consumption of alcohol, operating a vehicle under the influence and vehicle trespassing.

John Adam Weaver, 18, was charged with theft, underage consumption and vehicle trespassing.
