MCCRACKEN CO., KY (WSIL) � A Paducah man faces multiple charges after being caught burglarizing a home on N. Friendship Road in late April.
Among the stolen items Jeremiah J. Fuentes, 20, had was a .38 caliber handgun.
Detectives learned that weapon had been stolen from a woman who didn’t even realize it was missing.
Fuentes also had drugs an paraphernalia at the time of his arrest.
“This is another unfortunate example of illegal drugs having a direct correlation to other serious crimes and the importance of vigorous enforcement to make a community a better and safer place. This case also exemplifies why it is important to have good working relationships with other law enforcement entities,� McCracken County Sheriff Matt Carter said.
