| Man
Charged in Convenience Store Burglaries |
| |
A Connelly Springs man has
been charged with burglaries to two eastern Burke County convenience stores,
according to a Sheriff's Office press release.
Danny Eugene Tomlinson
(right), 46, of 2299 Shady Grove Road is facing
two counts of breaking, entering and larceny, and three counts of felonious
possession of stolen goods. The warrants have been issued but not served |
 |
because Tomlinson is incarcerated in McDowell
County for eight breaking and enterings there, Detective Stacy Buff of the
Burke County Sheriff's Office said. |
| |
| Tomlinson is accused of breaking into the Family
Food Mart, located at 300 Malcolm Boulevard, Rutherford College on December 3,
2002. Entry to the building was gained by cutting the alarm telephone wires and
breaking through a wall of the business. A safe was reportedly broken into and
cash taken. |
| |
| Tomlinson is also charged with burglarizing the
Knob Superette, located at 1121 Highway 70, Connelly Springs on January 20th.
The alarm telephone wires were cut and entry made by removing a circulation fan
from and exterior wall. Cash was stolen from the store's safe, according to
Buff. |
| |
| Tomlinson has a lengthy criminal record and was
recently released from prison. In 1990, he was sentenced to 32 years on drug
and habitual felon charges, according to prison records. His past convictions
include safecracking, multiple breaking and enterings, forgery, and auto
larceny. |
| |
| Tomlinson remains in McDowell County Jail under
a $20,000 bond and will be taken to Burke County after disposition of the
charges there, authorities said. |
