BURGLARY
April 18, 2025 – At approximately 10:28 am, I responded to 1113 Harrison Avenue in the City of Greenville in reference to a possible Burglary not in progress.
Upon my arrival, I spoke to Brent Henninger, who advised that he owned the property and was not at the listed address. Brent stated that sometime between 04/06/25 and 04/8/25, three big items went missing. These items are one large cabinet and 1 corner bench set and a lawn mower.
Brent stated he believed his previous tenant, Bruce Miller, took the items as he never returned the garage door opener. There was no physical damage to the garage as if someone had broken into it. Brent stated that was the only way someone could get into the garage without damaging something. While speaking to Brent, he advised that the items that are gone were originally Bruce’s, but Brent believed they should be his, as Bruce was evicted on February 6th, 2025.
I spoke to prosecutor Chance Cox about this incident, where he advised that it would not be considered theft as the items were originally Bruce’s and the only thing we would be able to do would be trespass. I tried to contact Bruce about the situation, but I received no answer. Bruce no longer lives locally and does not have any previous warnings for trespass. Bruce is to be warned for trespass when located or contacted.
Brent did fill out a statement form. There will be nothing further regarding this incident.
WARRANT
April 22, 2025 – Raul Dean is known to live at 517 Pine Street with his mother, Ursula Dean and his sister, Tatiana Sanchez. Raul was arrested at this listed address (517 Pine Street) in reference to a warrant in August of 2024. During that arrest, Rual barricaded himself in the walls of the basement. This is also Raul’s registered address since July of 2022. Information received from the Darke County Sheriff’s Office, on Friday, April 18th, 2025, was that Raul is still living and residing at the listed address, 517 Pine Street.
Through LEADS/NCIC it is also confirmed that Raul has an active warrant through Darke County Felony Probation for an original charge of Aggravated Arson issued 02/25/2025, and it confirms Raul has cautions for weapons under disability, domestic violence, and assault.
On April 21st, 2025, I received a signed search warrant for the listed address to go in and attempt to locate Raul. On April 22nd, 2025, with he assistance of the Darke County Sheriff’s office, we made entry into the residence of 517 Pine Street. Upon initial entry into the residence, we had contact with a female who identified herself as Victoria Hobbs.
Victoria advised that she was the only one inside the residence and said she had not seen Raul since before she went to bed the night before. Upon the initial entry into the residence, Chief Ryan Benge was stationed at the back door where he observed the door open, but the subject, whom he could not identify, ran back inside to hide. Officers then spent approximately 60-75 minutes searching the residence for anyone else inside.
While speaking with Victoria, she advised that she did not know if he was inside. I asked Victoria more in detail how events happened once we began to knock on the door. Victoria advised that she was in bed, sleeping in the basement. She heard the dogs going crazy, so she woke up and came up the stairs to find the back door open. That is when she closed it and went to the living room and was met by officers.
After searching the residence, Raul was finally located under a pile of clothes, a bed mattress, and miscellaneous items under the stairs to the basement. The evidence shows that upon knocking on the door to gain entry, Raul ran to the back door attempting to escape. When he realized the house was surrounded, he went to the basement to hide. If Raul was going down the stairs and Victoria was coming up the stairs, then she should have seen him in passing. It also appears that all the items that were piled on top of Raul would be difficult to do by himself and probably would have needed help. This is where we believe Victoria aided and abetted Raul and obstructed or delayed our apprehension of him.
Raul was arrested and transported to jail in reference to a felony probation warrant through the Darke County Sheriff’s Office. Victoria was arrested and transported to jail reference charges of obstructing justice. The back seat of both transport cruisers was checked before and after transport, with nothing located. Both subjects’ handcuffs were gap-checked and double-locked.
Once both subjects were detained, a search of the residence was conducted. Before the search, Detective Fenstermaker photographed the whole exterior and interior of the residence. Afterwards, a search was conducted with Detective Dickmann, Detective Fenstermaker, Officer Hall, Officer N. Colby, Officer Ward, Officer M. Colby, and me. During the search, only a few items were located to include a cell phone belonging to Raul Dean. Also located were several bags of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, and several baggies of pills that are shaped to be “Marion Mushrooms”. There were also several suboxone strips that were in bags labeled to Victoria Hobbs.
All these items were photographed and collected. We also located a little blue safe that we were unable to access with a key due to a numeric code we did not have. We transported that safe to the street department, where they opened it and found it to contain only personal effects. These items were returned to the residence and released to Raul’s sister.
The unknown pills will be sent to the lab to be tested. This case will be sent to the Darke County Prosecutor’s Office pending lab results.
April 25, 2025 – At approximately 11:48 am, a known wanted subject was apprehended at 1000 East Main Street, Walgreens.
I had prior knowledge that Rachel Prowant/Clark had a felony warrant out of Mercer County. I also had prior knowledge that Rachel would be arriving at Walgreens around 1200 hours. Upon my arrival, I observed Rachel sitting in her vehicle in the parking lot. I advised Rachel of her warrant out of Mercer County. Dispatch confirmed the warrant through LEADS/ NCIC. Rachel was placed in handcuffs, which were gap-checked and double-locked without incident. Rachel was searched incident to arrest, and no contraband was found.
I transported Rachel to the Darke Mercer County line, where she was released to the Mercer County Sheriff’s Office. The back seat of my cruiser was checked before and after transport and no contraband was located.
