(KNZA)--A Mayetta woman suspected in three Jackson County burglaries is in custody after a deputy found her stranded on the side of the road.

According to a press release from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, 33-year-old Saleena Rae Masquat was arrested last Thursday after a deputy stopped to assist a 2008 Dodge Caravan broken down on P Road near 254th Road.

Morse says the deputy determined that vehicle had been stolen earlier in the day from the Sac and Fox Casino.

While being taken into custody, Masquat was allegedly found to be in possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

Morse says she has been tied to the burglary of a home and an unoccupied building on August 9th, both located in the 16-thousand block of 326th Road in rural Whiting. In addition, Masquat is suspected in the burglary of a shed near where she was arrested.

A television and other items were taken from the home, and assorted tools from the shed.

Morse says deputies recovered a considerable amount of the missing property that had been in Masquat's possession.

She was booked into the Jackson County Jail on charges of felony possession of stolen property, possession of stolen property, theft, possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, burglary of a dwelling, burglary of a non-dwelling and driving while suspended.

Morse says more charges are possible.

Masquat remains jailed on $16,000 bond.
