GREENSBURG, Ind. – Charges have been filed against a Columbus man who allegedly stole three guns from a Greensburg home and then sold them to a gun store last summer.

Decatur County deputies arrested 20-year-old Gavin Everroad Tuesday morning on suspicion of felony burglary and felony theft of a firearm.

The homeowner notified investigators that two shotguns and one rifle disappeared from a home in the 6600 block of West SR 46 on July 21.

Local police were contacted by the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department the following day after two guns matching the description were sold to a Columbus gun shop.

According to the Greensburg Daily News, the homeowner had previously met Everroad and suspected him of the crime.

Investigators say home surveillance video depicted a man matching the suspect’s description exiting the home with three firearms.
