The Clinton County Sheriff’s Department, along with the Albany Police Department and the Kentucky State Police have arrested two individuals in connection with a rash of burglaries in the area.

According to a press release issued by the Albany Police Department, Jamie and Gloria Brumley were arrested on several counts of theft.

Sheriff Rick Riddle obtained the warrants, which were served by Officers Ricky Marcum and Jim Guffey of the Albany Police Department.

Both suspects were questioned by law enforcement officers at the Albany Police Department in reference to previous burglaries throughout the county.

According to law enforcement officials, after the interviews were conducted, it was revealed that Jamie Brumley had alledgedly broken into Stearns’ Boat Repair, PORCO Fertilizer, Ryan’s Re-Fuel, Hunley Oil and Gas, Albany Quarry, and some construction equipment at the intersection of KY Hwy. 1590 and US 127 Bypass.

Items taken from these properties were numerous batteries, copper wire, radiators, numerous tools and other items.

Both Jamie and Gloria Brumley are currently lodged in the Clinton County Jail pending additional charges. The investigation is still ongoing by the Clinton County Sheriff’s Department, the Albany Police Department and Trooper Nick Davis of the Kentucky State Police.

“It takes all three agencies to work together,” Riddle said. “It’s a cummulative effort and it works out better when we all work together.”

Riddle said if there is anybody who had any information on a theft in the county, call the Sheriff’s Department, the Albany Police Department or the Kentucky State Police.
