Several people were sentenced in the Starke Circuit Court yesterday, among them Kyle Bobb, who pleaded guilty to Burglary as a Class B felony and Samuel Singleton, who admitted to a variety of charges spanning four cases in the court.
Knox police officers arrested Samuel Singleton after he allegedly sold items stolen from a home in Knox to the pawn shop.
On the afternoon of Dec. 6, a woman called police to report her home had been broken into while she was at school, and the perpetrator stole her television and laptop computer. The victim told police that Samuel Singleton knew where the items were.
Two people pleaded guilty to charges filed against them in the Starke Circuit Court on Tuesday.
William Baugh of Knox pleaded guilty to a charge of Receiving Stolen Property as a Class D felony. Baugh is accused of pawning several dozen collectible Zippo lighters that had been stolen from a woman in Knox for $300 in February. He also admitted to a probation violation.
While serving three arrest warrants on Robert Singleton and Matthew Baker, officers found the suspects Friday at 415 N. State Road 23 in Knox—along with an active methamphetamine lab and a slew of drugs in the presence of two young children.
When they arrived at the residence, officers from the Starke County Sheriff’s Department and Knox Police Department found Baker entering a vehicle and moved to detain him before finding an active one-pot methamphetamine lab in his hand. A brief altercation ended with a handcuffed Baker in the back of a squad car.
