On June of 2023, the Logan County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a break-in at the Cahinnio Girl Scout Camp near Ione in the southwestern part of Logan County.
Several items, including a large sump pump and hose and three chainsaws, were stolen. There was also damage to the property. Cameras captured two people forcing their way into one of the sheds and carrying out items, but at the time, the LCSO were unable to identify them.
In January of 2024, Logan County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Sgt. Stacy Wieburg (who was not with the department when this call was received last June) reviewed the photos and identified the female suspect in this case as Stephanie Elmore from Huntington. Lt. Mark Walker and Investigator Chris Langston investigated the case and learned that Melissa Williams, of Mansfield, was the other person in the photos from the break-in.
Both of the females were interviewed, and warrants were issued for their arrests. In February, Melissa Williams and Stephanie Elmore were arrested and transported to the Logan County Detention Center on charges of Commercial Burglary, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree, and Theft of Property.
