A Sheridan man was recently arraigned for theft in Fourth Judicial District Court. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

A three-day jury trial has been scheduled in District Court in Sheridan for May 22, 2023 for a man charged with felony theft. 23-year-old William Ingram pleaded not guilty to the charge at a recent arraignment hearing in District Court. Ingram is charged with one count of felony theft for allegedly stealing two Heritage Rough Rider .22 caliber revolvers from a residence on Wyoming Avenue. The alleged crime occurred between August 19 and October 4 of this year.

According to court documents, on November 3, 2022, the Sheridan Police Department received a report that two stolen handguns had been pawned at a pawn shop in Sheridan. The investigation into the incident concluded that while Ingram was not the individual who pawned the stolen guns, he was the one responsible for stealing the firearms from a residence in Sheridan. If convicted, Ingram faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
