Former cellmates caught burglarizing W.T.’s Place
A pair of prison cellmates have been re-united behind bars after they were arrested for burglarizing W.T.’s Place on Karate Lane Monday.
The suspects, Thomas Bruce Marshall, 32, and Eric Conaster, 24, are charged with burglary, theft and vandalism.
They are charged with breaking through a door at the establishment and stealing beer and cigarettes during their illegal, after-hours entry Monday. Marshall was arrested after admitting to his involvement in the crime and leading lawmen to some of the items taken in the heist. Conaster was later arrested in possession of some of the stolen items.
The men had been cellmates in prison until both were released earlier this year. Conaster had served time for burglary while Marshall served 13 years for aggravated rape and kidnapping. Marshall was in prison for abducting and raping a 16-year-old boy. The victim claimed he escaped after his assailant announced he was going to kill him.
An investigation is continuing into the break-in.
