Burglary charges: State police filed additional burglary charges against a West Virginia man after the victim recently discovered items missing from his garage. Thomas Eugene Allen Jr., 27, had already faced burglary and theft charges in 2019 after state police linked his fingerprints to a home in the 500 block of McCracken Road that had been broken into Oct. 25, 2018, while the owner was gone. Earlier this month, the owner contacted police to inform them that he recently discovered items missing from his garage, too, including more than $1,000 worth of tools. Due to the new information, police refiled the charges to include two counts of burglary, theft, criminal trespass and criminal mischief.
