Deputies Nab Two
Hiding In Country
Store After Break-In
Two suspected thieves were ar
rested as they hid in the bathroom of
a Supply country store Sunday
night, according to a crime report on
file at the Brunswick County She
riff s Department Monday.
Detective l^arry Joyner said the
two men charged in the late-night
break-in at Hewett's Store on Mt.
Pisgah Road may be responsible for
three other larcenies there. An inves
tigation is continuing and more
charges are anticipated, he said.
According to Deputy Joseph
Scoggins' report, he was dispatched
to the store to investigate a break-in
that was said to be in progress at
about 1 1:19.
When he arrived and looked in
through the front window of the
store, Scoggins said he saw a white
male standing in front of a cooler
who "appeared to be looking for
something."
After calling for back-up, Scog
gins went to the rear of the store and
found that someone had apparently
entered through a boarded -up win
dow.
When the store owner and Deputy
Cathy Hamilton arrived a few min
utes later, Scoggins crawled into the
store through the rear window while
the other deputy went in through the
front door
After a thorough search of the
business, Scoggins reported finding
"two white males in the bathroom
crouching down on the floor." The
men were arrested and taken to
Bolivia by Det. Joyner for booking.
Charged with felonious breaking
and entering were William Daniel
Widdon. 20. and Robert Merle
Wilder. 19. both of Easterly Drive,
off Taft Road. Supply
Hewett's store has been the scene
of several break-ins during the past
year. Joyner is investigating the pos
sibility that the two suspects arrested
Sunday might be responsible.
