Matthew Morris

NORTH WEBSTER — Another arrest was made regarding the April 11 armed robbery in North Webster. This makes the fourth arrest, one of which was dismissed. More information regarding the incident was revealed with the latest arrest.

Matthew Michael Morris, 38, 200 Maple Street, Millersburg, is being charged with burglary, a level 2 felony; robbery with a deadly weapon, a level 3 felony; and theft, a level 6 felony.

According to the latest affidavit of probable cause, Jesse Roberson, North Webster, admitted that he falsely accused Daniel Edgar of participating in the robbery. Edgar was originally located inside a residence that officers had obtained a search warrant for. The homeowner advised that Edgar sleeps there and Roberson was present the morning of April 11. Roberson showed up at the residence with cash and a handgun. Edgar was initially arrested but had his charges dismissed once officers obtained the full story regarding the robbery.

Instead, it was Morris who helped him perform the armed robbery. The two were driven to the residence by Cody Stuckman, North Webster. Morris and Roberson entered the residence with guns and performed the robbery.

The two then loaded the stolen items into Stuckman’s vehicle and drove to Stuckman’s fathers house. The stolen items were divided between the three men and two additional women. The items stolen included over $750 cash, multiple pieces of jewelry including a wedding ring, six guns and prescription medication.

Officers spoke with one of the women who received stolen items. She confirmed the new story Roberson told to officers. She provided the officers with a gold ring, which the victims were able to positively identify.

Morris was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail on May 12 with a $25,250 bond.
