WARSAW — A Warsaw man was arrested after a homeowner discovered a broken window and items stolen from her residence. The suspect had failed to remove all the items he touched and fingerprints were able to positively identify him.

Allan Bryant Frye, 27, 2815 Glad St., Warsaw, is being charged with burglary, a level 4 felony, and theft, a level 6 felony.

On Sept. 26, a female homeowner returned from work, discovered a broken window and called the police. An officer with the Warsaw Police Department arrived to the residence and discovered a large rock had been thrown through the window. The officer further discovered a plastic garbage bag that was taken from the kitchen and left in front of the entertainment center and a Wii system box had been moved and left in the hallway.

The homeowner advised that a .357 caliber handgun, jewelry and cash were taken from the residence. The total value of the stolen items was $1,580.

Frye was a childhood friend of her son and had recently contacted her son in an attempt to obtain money. The homeowner advised that Frye had not been in the residence for a long period of time but still may be a suspect.

Officers collected the Wii system box and the plastic bag as evidence. Fingerprints were obtained from the items and sent to the Indiana State Police Lab for testing. An Indiana State Police Forensics Scientist identified the fingerprints found as belonging to Frye.

Frye was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail on Oct. 16 with a $12,000 surety and cash bond.
