Police arrest trio on burglary charges

SANDPOINT — Three people were arrested Wednesday in connection with two commercial burglaries, Sandpoint Police Chief Corey Coon said.
Wrenco Arms and the Subway sandwich store were burglarized on Sunday. At least one handgun was taken from Wrenco Arms and it appeared there was an attempt to remove the cash register from Subway, police said.
Coon said officers used surveillance footage from the Wrenco burglary and compared notes about local offenders, which allowed them to develop a short list of suspects.
David Anthony Dorland Jr. emerged as a suspect in the Wrenco Arms break-in.
“We have recovered a handgun,” Coon said.
The investigation into Dorland uncovered evidence that his roommates, Christian Don Moes and Dylan Lane Utt, were behind the Subway heist. Coon said evidence from the Subway burglary was found among the possessions of Moes and Utt.
“They’ve all just been arrested today,” said Coon.
Coon said the trio is facing burglary charges, but also may face weapons possession charges because they are felony probationers, Coon added.
Dorland was convicted of burglary in 2013, according to the Idaho Supreme Court Data Repository. He also has several misdemeanor drug convictions.
Utt has a felony injury to child charge stemming from a 2013 case in which he was charged with lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor. Moes, meanwhile, has a felony drug conviction, according to the repository.
The trio is expected to make initial court appearances in Bonner County Magistrate Court today.
