Arrest made in Hiawatha burglary

(KNZA)--An arrest has been made in connection with a burglary last month at a Hiawatha business, which was caught on surveillance video.

19-year-old Michael Fetty, of Hiawatha, was arrested Saturday following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department into an early May 23 break-in at Henry's Retail Liquor located in the 12-hundred block of Oregon Street.

The arrest followed Fetty voluntarily turning himself in to authorities. 

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill told MSC News that Fetty was formally charged Monday in Brown County District Court with one felony count each of burglary and criminal damage to property, along with a misdemeanor count of theft.

Fetty made his first appearance in court Monday, and a preliminary hearing was set for June 13.

Hill said bond was set at $25,000 cash or surety.

Fetty remains in the Brown County Jail.

Investigator Mickey Gruber with the Hiawatha Police Department said additional arrests are possible.
