CATLETTSBURG —
A Boyd County jury on Thursday indicted four local residents arrested in June for allegedly burglarizing a number of local businesses.
David M. Baldridge, 26, and Donald R. Mullins, 38, both of Ashland, were each charged with 13 counts of burglary, according to Boyd Commonwealth’s Attorney David Justice.
Christina Lynn Perkins, 41, of Flatwoods, and Kendra N. Taylor, 23, of Ashland, each were charged with six counts of burglary.
According to the Boyd County Sheriff’s Department, the suspects all confessed to being involved in a string of business break-ins. Businesses victimized included Rich Oil on U.S. 60 at Summit, BP on Ky. 3, Rich Oil on Wheatley Road in Westwood, Air Equipment Sales & Service on Armco Road, Ferguson Plumbing on West Central Avenue, Mid-American Group on U.S. 60 and Exxon Tiger Mart on U.S. 60 at Cannonsburg.
Several thousand dollars’ worth of cigarettes were stolen in the convenience store burglaries, while copper and tools were taken from Ferguson’s and Air Equipment. Some of the copper was recovered at a recycling center in the Huntington area, the sheriff’s department said.
A grand jury indictment is a formal accusation of a crime and doesn’t establish guilt.
