An ongoing investigation by the Scioto County Sheriff's Office led to the arrest of a Scioto County man on burglary charges.

Timothy Neff, 31, of Railroad Hollow, South Webster, was taken into custody by sheriff's detectives at his home Wednesday, on the same road where the burglary occurred Saturday.

On March 3, the sheriff's office received a call from a Railroad Hollow resident stating that someone broke into their home and stole guns and money.

“We talked to several people who placed him at that location that night,” said Detective Jodi Conkel.

After several days of investigation, detectives made the arrest and charged Neff with burglary, a felony of the second degree.

“We were able to recover the two guns, a .22 rifle, and a 357 pistol, but the money was already spent,” said Conkel.

After the guns were confiscated, they were returned to the owner.

Neff was placed in the Scioto County jail on $10,000 bond, and Sheriff Marty V. Donini said other charges are to follow.

Neff was scheduled to appear in Portsmouth Municipal Court at 9 a.m. today.
