Details of the case:

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 stole two firearms that were displayed on the wall, according to the complaint.

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

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.
