A Muldrow teen was charged Tuesday with felonies relating to a car burglary.

Chad Asher, 18, of Muldrow faces charges of second-degree burglary, knowingly concealing stolen property, and felony conspiracy.

According to court records, Sequoyah County Sheriff's Deputy Robert Gude reported that at 2 a.m. July 30 he was dispatched to Lock and Dam 14 south of Muldrow. Gude spoke with a man who said someone had broken his driver's side window and that his cell phone, valued at $247, and his iPod, valued at $327, were missing. The window was valued at $150.

The victim said he noticed a green Jeep Cherokee leaving the area and he thought Asher was the driver.

At 4:30 a.m. Muldrow Police Officer Mike Porter located the Jeep. Asher was the driver, and he had three juvenile passengers.

Gude asked Asher if he could look inside the vehicle and Gude located the missing phone in the passenger's door. Everyone in the vehicle said they didn't know how the cell phone got there.

Asher was arrested. The iPod was located in the floorboard of Gude's vehicle. Asher told Gude that one of the juveniles put the iPod there while Gude was looking through Asher's vehicle.

Asher told police that one of the juveniles broke the window and took the items.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
