Theft (not in progress)
On April 27, 2026, at approximately 1000 hours I responded to 400 Wayne Avenue in the City of Greenville in reference to a possible theft that had occurred.
Upon my arrival I spoke to John Singleman who lives at the address listed above. John stated that on this day he went to take his dog on a walk and noticed one of his AC window units were missing from a bedroom that he has been remodeling. John stated he was sure the AC Unit was there on 04/26/25 early in the afternoon. John stated it was a white GE 6,000 BTU AC unit. John stated he believed that Unit was $600. John stated he did not know anyone who would have taken it. John stated he did not hear anything throughout the night. John does not have any cameras around his residence that would have been able to capture this incident. I observed where the unit was and it did not appear the window was damaged or anything was tampered with to get the AC Unit out. I did observe cameras at 407 Wayne Avenue that may have captured this incident but was unable to make contact. The 407 Wayne Avenue address is a duplex and is currently for sale and it is unclear if anyone is currently living there.
I will need to follow up with the address mentioned above for camera footage.

The Darke County Sheriff’s office responded and detained the male subject in the 4200 block of Children’s Home Bradford Road.
Upon my arrival, I made contact with the male subject in the back of Darke County Sheriff’s office cruiser. I was able to identify the male subject from a photo of the house security camera, along with the backpack that was with him. The male subject identified himself as Gabriel Villarreal. I advised Gabriel his Miranda Rights to which he said he understood. I asked Gabriel if he had stolen the bicycle that he was on. Gabriel admitted to stealing the bicycle approximately 2 days ago ( the same day as the theft) then spray painting the bicycle. I observed the bike was spray painted black with green handle bars but the wheels still were blue as previously described. When asking Gabriel why he took the bicycle he advised he needed a faster way to get to work and back that wasn’t his skateboard.
Photos were taken of the bicycle and filed with this report. The bicycle was returned to Harlee without further incident.
I exchanged handcuffs placing Gabriel in mine which were gap checked and double locked. I transported Gabriel to the Greenville Police Department where he was issued his citation for theft. Gabriel was advised of his mandatory court date and time. Gabriel was released and I transported Gabriel back to his residence at 4234 Children’s Home Bradford Road.
Trespassing
On April 29th, 2026, at approximately 1850 hours, I was dispatched to 1501 Wagner Avenue, Walmart in reference to a trespassing/theft complaint.
The complainant advised GPO Dispatch a male subject wearing an orange hoody is possibly trying to steal trading cards by concealing the cards inside of his clothes. Walmart staff advised they want the subject to be trespassed and items returned. Upon officer arrival, Walmart loss prevention officer John Mott pointed out the male subject. I recognized the male subject as Gregory Stutz ( Greg) from prior encounters. Upon making contact with Greg, we advised him we were called reference him attempting to steal trading cards and to return the merchandise that he had concealed on his person. Greg stated that he did not take any items or have anything in his pockets. Greg continued to pull out his pants pockets and lift his hoody up showing his waistline. I observed Greg’s hands visibly shaking while trying to talk to myself and Sgt. Wolfe. In the front hoody pocket, I observed a square outline that reassembled trading cards. It was at this point Greg was detained, I checked Greg’s front hoody pocket finding several sealed trading cards in his pocket.
I asked dispatch if Greg had any prior documented warnings for trespass from Walmart. Dispatch advised Greg was warned for trespass on October 8th, 2025, by P.O. Wentworth. I advised Greg that he was under arrest for criminal trespass and asked him to place his hands behind his back. Greg was placed in handcuffs which were gap checked and double locked. Greg was searched incident to arrest, and no other contraband was located. Sgt. Wolfe advised Greg of his Miranda Rights to which he stated he understood.

John filled out a witness statement and completed a victim’s rights form on behalf of Walmart. Both will be attached to this report.
