Steven McCubbins, 49, is facing one count of complicity to commit aggravated burglary.
All three suspects had their bonds set at $75,000.
“My deputies and investigators acted swiftly and effectively to identify and apprehend those responsible for this dangerous incident,” said Montgomery County Sheriff Rob Streck. “We are grateful for their dedication to ensuring the safety of our community and bringing those involved to justice.”
On Sept. 23 deputies responded to a reported burglary at a house in the 5500 block of Brantford Road in Harrison Twp. The homeowner told deputies multiple firearms had been stolen, according to the sheriff’s office.
The next day deputies were called back to the residence on a report of a shooting.
The homeowner reportedly confronted two suspects who had re-entered the residence. The homeowner shot at one of the suspects, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies later arrested three people, including one who had a gunshot wound.
He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
According to an affidavit filed in Vandalia Municipal Court, Schroyer was arrested in the area of the home with a gunshot wound to his arm, and McCubbins was located at the Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall at 1161 Bartley Road, where he was arrested.
Investigators said that during interviews, Schroyer admitted to going to the house with the other two men to take “scrap metal,” McCubbins admitted to being the lookout while the other two broke into the house, and Knight admitted to breaking into the house multiple times and taking multiple items, the affidavit said.
According to the affidavit, a search warrant conducted at Knight’s house found several firearms that Knight admitted were taken from the house.
Investigators served search warrants in Trotwood and Jefferson Twp. and recovered a vehicle connected to the incident as well as several of the stolen guns, according to the sheriff’s office.
