Officers were able to review security camera footage from the other residence and confirmed the items had been stolen from the home, and say the suspect also damaged a vehicle parked in the driveway.

In all, Darling faces four charges:
  • (2) Counts of Burglary in the 2nd Degree - Class C Felony
  • (1) Count of Petit Larceny – Class A Misdemeanor
