Two 19 year olds have been arrested and charged with breaking into Battery Outfitters in Golden late in May.
According to affidavits of probable cause, used in filing charges against them, Hunter Seay Williams, 19, of Golden, was driven to Battery Outfitters in the early morning hours of May 27. The driver was allegedly Kevin Newman, 19, of Exeter. Williams allegedly broke the window of the business with a rock and entered the building. Inside, he allegedly stole the deposits for the previous two days and the cash box. Williams then reportedly got into the car with Newman and the two drove away.
Deputies with the Barry County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched for an alarm going off. When the deputies arrived on scene, the owner of the business was also present. The victim reported that the deposits were stolen, along with the cash box. The deposits reportedly contained over $1,400 in cash and over $1,000 in checks, plus $673 cash in the cash box.
During an interview with the suspects, Williams allegedly admitted to breaking the window and taking the money. Williams and Newman reportedly burned the checks and credit card receipts, along with the clothing Williams wore during the alleged incident. Newman allegedly corroborated these details and admitted to driving the vehicle.
Kevin Newman is charged with burglary in the second degree, stealing of $750 or more and second degree property damage. He is being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of $15,000 cash or surety bond. Hunter Williams faces the same charges, but his bond is set at $30,000 cash or surety.
