Marion Youth Held in Entry Burglary Case Near South Bloomingville

A Marion youth sits in Hocking County jail awaiting arraignment on charges of burglary for a cabin break in near South Bloomingville last Sunday. Paul E. Scott, 19, was arrested Thursday in Lawrence County for allegedly breaking into Orville F. Kline's cabin on Route 664 northeast of the village. A 16 year old relative from Pedro Route 1 is also implicated. Loot recovered includes a power saw, extension cord, wrecking bars, wood plane, hand tools and shotgun shells. Suspects were identified by area residents and reported to Deputy Sheriff Dennis Wilkes. The suspect was brought to Logan Thursday evening. The juvenile case will likely move to Lawrence County Juvenile Court. Most stolen items have been recovered and identified by the owner.
