Deputies quickly learned the trailer and horses were taken from the fairgrounds, and that a third horse also was missing, the sheriff said in a release.
Tips from the community led to a suspect, and arrangements are being made to return the third horse to its owner. Several other items also were stolen from the horse barn at the fairgrounds, including a tack, saddle, wheels, horse shoes and are in the process of being recovered, the sheriff stated.
Deputies arrested 21-year-old John R. Eicher of Berne, Indiana, who is being held on a $100,000 bond on suspicion of theft in the Mercer County jail.
The case will be sent to county Prosecutor Matt Fox for review and possible additional charges.
