A Russell Springs man was arrested last night in connection with a residential burglary that occurred just over a month ago in the Esto community.
Matthew Jasper, 38, was initially taken into custody on a child support warrant from Russell County and a misdemeanor theft warrant from Adair County. Information provided to Sheriff Clete McAninch and Deputies resulted in Jasper also being charged with Burglary 2nd Degree and Theft by Unlawful Taking. Jasper is accused of burglarizing a house around March 21st during which numerous appliances and other items were stolen and sold. A social media post by the victim earlier this week prompted a call that led to Jasper and the locations of most of the stolen items.
Jasper was lodged in the Russell County Jail.
