From the desk of Sheriff Bryson Meyers:
During the month of September 2025, deputies investigated a burglary along Corona Bayard Road. Investigation revealed that two 17-year-old juveniles from Gormania, West Virginia, broke into the residence on three separate occasions. Deputies, along with Detectives from the Criminal Investigation Division, and Troopers with the West Virginia State Police conducted interviews and learned that during one of the burglaries the juveniles were in possession of a 9mm handgun.
As a result, Deputies and Detectives obtained an arrest warrant charging the two 17-year-old juveniles with Burglary, and Handgun Violations. On October 3, 2025, both juveniles were arrested and transported to the Garrett County Detention Center where they were later released on their own recognizance after appearing before a District Court Commissioner.
