One in jail for burglary

A Howardwick man is facing three counts of burglary, but local officials are still looking for the person or persons who might be accomplices.

Jeffery Wyrick, age 27, was in the Donley County Jail Tuesday in connection with three local burglaries, including one at the Clarendon Country Club from which a large safe was stolen.

Donley County Sheriff Butch Blackburn said at the time of his arrest on August 25, Wyrick had cash on his person that was identified as being from the country club safe that had been stolen earlier that day.

Wyrick was arraigned August 27 by Justice of the Peace Connie Havens and bond was set at $20,000 for each charge.

“We are reasonably sure that he did not act alone,” Blackburn said, “but he is the only suspect in custody at this time.”

The investigation in the three cases continues, and anyone with information about the country club break-in or other break-ins are asked to call the sheriff’s office at 874-3533.
