The Kern County Sheriff"s Office confirms that five people were arrested Thursday in connection with a burglary at the Fire Station in Lake Isabella.
The following is a release from the Kern County Sheriff"s Office:
Within the last month, Kern County Fire Department Fire Station 72 in Lake Isabella was burglarized on three separate occasions, and over $15,000 worth of county equipment and personal items were stolen.
Because of the recent burglaries, deputies from the Sheriffs Office Kern Valley Substation began an investigation into the burglaries based on information developed during other investigations. As a result, deputies developed information that stolen property from the fire station was at the Mountain View Trailer Park in the 4400 block of Lake Isabella Blvd.
Early this morning, at about 2:47 am, deputies began a foot patrol in the area of the trailer park. While on foot patrol deputies contacted 44 year old Donald Snyder sitting in a vehicle with the interior light on. Deputies then went to Snyders trailer inside the park where they contacted his girlfriend, 32 year old Chelsea Blair, who was on probation and subject to search. Deputies searched the property and located most of the items reported stolen from Fire Station 72, including items that had not yet been reported stolen including an AED device and personal property.
Deputies also contacted 28 year old Harvey Mahoney and 35 year old Adrian Acuna and determined they were in possession of stolen items from Fire Station 72, along with about pound of methamphetamine and paraphernalia. Mahoney also had several warrants for his arrest.
During the investigation deputies were able to determine additional stolen property was possibly at the home of 44 year old Michael Deatherage in the 3000 block of c*x Rd. in Lake Isabella. Deputies responded to that home and contacted 21 year old Alizabeth Haworth, who was also on probation and subject to search. Deputies searched that residence and located a stolen motorcycle, a loaded rifle, and stolen property belonging to the US Forest Service which had not yet been reported stolen. Haworth was also under the influence of a controlled substance.
Deatherage was not at his home, but there is probable cause to arrest him for being an ex-felon in possession of a firearm, possession of stolen property, and being an ex-felon in possession of ammunition.
The suspects were arrested and booked into the Sheriffs Office Central Receiving Facility for their listed charges:
Donald Snyder; burglary, possession of stolen property, possession of paraphernalia, and a misdemeanor warrant
Chelsea Blair; possession of stolen property and possession of paraphernalia
Harvey Mahoney; possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of stolen property, possession of paraphernalia, and one felony and one misdemeanor warrant
Adrian Acuna; possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of stolen property, possession of paraphernalia, and a misdemeanor warrant
Alizabeth Haworth; possession of a controlled substance, possession of a loaded firearm while in possession of a controlled substance, under the influence of a controlled substance, and under the influence of a controlled substance while in possession of a loaded firearm
