Suspected burglar held at gunpoint until police arrive
A resident of County Road 25 near Morrison Crossroads, who had been the recent victim of a burglary, was informed by a friend that a truck was backed up to their storage building last Wednesday. The resident brought along another friend, and they blocked in the suspect’s truck. The resident’s friend fired a shot into the ground, then a second shot, at which time the person in the storage building said “don’t shoot.”
They ordered the suspect to come out and get onto the ground. They ordered him to empty his pockets and made him lay there face down until law enforcement arrived.
Jason Ryan Cook, 45, of Newell was subsequently arrested and charged with third-degree burglary, fourth-degree theft of property and possession of drug paraphernalia.

A 24-inch TV, Roku device, diamond ring, power drill, palm sander, spray paint and clothes were reported stolen from a residence on County Road 99 in the Swagg community.
