BEAVER TWP., Pa. (EYT) — A 39-year-old man is facing felony charges for the alleged theft of two firearms from a residence last year in Beaver Township.

According to court documents, the following criminal charges were filed against 39-year-old Ralph Gene Myers, of East Vandergrift:

– Burglary — Overnight Accommodation, No Person Present, Felony 1
– Theft by Unlawful Taking — Moveable Property, Felony 2

He was arraigned in front of Magisterial District Judge Amy Long Turk at 10:50 a.m. on Friday, March 29.

Unable to post $5,000.00 monetary bail, he was lodged in the Clarion County Jail.

The charges stem from a theft that occurred at a residence located on Bashline Road in Beaver Township, Clarion County, on November 29, 2018.

According to a criminal complaint, a camera that was displayed in the kitchen window of a residence at the above-described location recorded Ralph Gene Myers arrive in the driveway in a white Jeep Cherokee around 9:45 a.m. He exited the vehicle, went to the front of the residence, and then to the rear of the residence to find a door that had been unlocked.

Myers entered the structure and continued to steal two firearms that were displayed on the wall, the complaint states.

Myers was also recorded walking back to the Jeep with the two firearms and a black bag containing a nail gun.

According to the complaint, Trooper Jarrett, of the Clarion-based State Police, compared the individual in the video with Myers’ driver’s license photo to confirm his identity. Trooper Allison, who had prior dealings with Myers, also confirmed the identity.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 2, with Judge Turk presiding.
