He arrived on the scene and spoke with the victim, who said she had camera footage of the burglar. Middlebrooks and the victim reviewed the footage and identified a suspect.

Middlebrooks went to the residence of Wayne Allen Golla; 62 years old, of Richville; in reference to the burglary.

After conducting a field interview, it was determined that Golla had committed the burglary. He was arrested November 8 and charged with third-degree burglary and fourth-degree theft of property.
