Centerville man jailed in burglary case
A Centerville man was jailed Friday on accusations he walked into a woman’s house while holding a baby Monday and stole items from her while she was in a bathroom.
Troy Chiera, 33, of 309 National Ave., was arraigned before District Judge Larry Hopkins and sent to Washington County jail on $25,000 bond, court records show.

Stolen from the victim were two bottles of prescription medication, $60, two packs of cigarettes and a change purse, court records show.
Chiara is charged with burglary and theft.
