Earlier this week, Montgomery County Deputies received a report of a crime involving burglary and theft. Deputies were called to the east side of Independence when a witness from a previous case observed a truck pulling a trailer that the witness knew to be stolen. Upon further investigation, it was learned the individual who possessed the trailer had just purchased it from 36-year-old Tanna Darnell of Independence and 39-year-old Terry Werner of Cherryvale. The individual that purchased the trailer also purchased other items that have been identified as stolen property from a separate incident.

Deputies responded to the location where the individual told deputies he purchased the property. While at that location a Deputy observed Darnell and Werner enter a house near the location and were later arrested after it was determined that they did not have permission to be at the home.

Werner and Darnell have been charged with possession of stolen property and burglary. Werner also had multiple arrest warrants Darnell was found what is believed to be narcotics among her personal belongings.
