Humboldt, IA – A Humboldt man has been arrested on a burglary charge after allegedly breaking into a Humboldt County home.
According to a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, on Tuesday at approximately 8:35 a.m., the Humboldt County Communication Center received a 911 call from a male stating that his wife was home alone, and an unknown male had broken into their house and was still present with his wife. As deputies responded to the area of the 2600 mile of 230th St, an update reported the male had left the acreage driving a black Cadillac Escalade.
As a result of the investigation, 30-year-old Tyler Dille of Humboldt was charged with burglary in the 2nd degree (class C felony) and operating under the influence (serious misdemeanor).
The investigation also discovered the black Cadillac Escalade had been reported stolen in Fort Dodge a few hours earlier. Dille also faces a third charge of possession of stolen property (class D felony). He was booked in the Humboldt County Jail until his initial appearance before the magistrate.
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Fort Dodge Police Department and the Humboldt County Attorney’s Office.
The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office says this case should serve as a reminder to all residents to always keep their houses locked, spare house keys hidden in a secure location, and to never leave keys and valuables in unlocked vehicles.
