Man of Mystery Arrested in Rittman Burglary Case
An unknown man identified only as Tom Doe was arrested in Rittman on a charge of attempted burglary. He refused to provide a real name, was placed under $1,000 bond, and jailed in Wayne County pending grand jury action. The alleged break-in began Monday at 3 am at the Dostal shoe shop, concluded when he was corralled by local residents and the owner with a pistol. Authorities doubt his Erie detective tale and probe his past as the case moves toward the grand jury.
