(KAIR)--Two women are accused of a Sunday evening Jackson County burglary, with one in custody while the other remains on the run.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says 19-year-old Shelby Hopkins was arrested after she was found hiding in an attic crawl space inside a residence on Pratt Street, in Whiting. That's the same location where 32-year-old Megan Hollister is accused of hiding in a closet, but escaping on foot. A search by deputies from the Jackson and Brown County Sheriff's Offices, along with Kickapoo Tribal Police, was unsuccessful and Hollister remains free.
Morse says the investigation was launched following the report of a burglary in the 500 Block of 3rd Street where a number of electronic items were stolen.
Morse says they were recovered following the arrest of Hopkins, who was booked into the Jackson County Jail, facing charges of burglary of a dwelling, theft, criminal damage to property, possession of methamphetamine, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and felony interference with law enforcement. Her bond is set at $10,000.
The search continues for the whereabouts of Hollister, who is believed to be somewhere in the Brown County area.
Morse says anyone with information is urged to contact his office at 785-364-2251.
