The Dent County Sheriff's Office released their reports. On Tuesday, June 2nd at 8:50 in the morning, a deputy responded to the 15000 block of Highway 32 West for a report of burglary and theft of a vehicle. Upon arrival it was discovered that a 62-year old male of Salem was the reported victim. He stated that he had received a phone call about his truck being seen broke down on Kimble Road in Texas County. A description of the suspect seen driving the truck was given. After going and checking his building, he found that his business had been broke into and his work truck and approximately $10,000 dollars worth of copper and tools had been stolen. Total value of items stolen was approximately $30,000. Deputies started working on the investigation and with the help of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Texas County Sheriff's Office and the Phelps County Sheriff's Office began to develop leads and suspect information. Around 3:00 that afternoon, two individuals from Texas County were arrested in Rolla after selling some of the copper that was stolen during the break in. A search warrant was served on a residence north of Licking in Texas County around 10:00 pm. Officers located numerous items from the burglary in a shed along with a clandestine methamphetamine lab. While searching the residence, another male was located hiding in the closet of a back bedroom. He is identified as 21-year old Robert J. Owens of Licking. The stolen vehicle was found on a logging road approximately ½ mile from the residence. As a result of this investigation, Robert J. Owens, 52-year old Lisa Dodd of Licking and 42-year old Paul Dodd of Licking were arrested and are currently being held on $15,000 cash only bonds. The above information is just a mere accusation, and is not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of any charge must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
