The second suspect allegedly involved in burglaries and attempted burglaries in the area last month has been arrested.
According to the criminal complaint, 38-year-old Conny Stucker of North Dodge Street drove a red Hyundai Elantra to meet a man, now identified as 33-year-old Dustin Martin, at Mint Salon and Barbering on the 1300 block of South Gilbert Street around 3 am on August 8th.
Between 3 and 4:30 am, the two allegedly committed and attempted burglaries and thefts at businesses in the area. They entered Mint Salon at about 4 am while the business was locked and closed. Video confirmed that Stucker and Martin took over $6500 in cash and merchandise, including various hair products and cutting shears. After leaving, Martin returned to the business to carry out an additional forgotten bag of stolen merchandise. The stolen items were not recovered.
The business posted pictures of the two alleged burglars on their social media. Numerous responses to the pictures and tips to CrimeStoppers identified Stucker and Martin. When interviewed, Stucker admitted being involved and identified herself and Martin on the video, but denied stealing anything.
Martin was arrested Tuesday afternoon. He’s been charged with 3rd degree Burglary and 2nd degree Theft. In addition, Martin was on probation on a number of previous convictions for Burglary, Unauthorized use of a Credit Card, and Possession of a Controlled Substance. For the August incidents, Martin could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
