Bollinger County woman accused of stealing tools, truck

She was accused in April of selling stolen tools out of a stolen truck in Marble Hill, Missouri, but a Bollinger County arrest warrant was not filed until Friday.

Antonia Soleda Eugen Castro, 22, of Glenallen, Missouri, faces charges of second-degree burglary theft and misdemeanor property damage.

Bollinger County sheriff's Detective Della K. Moore wrote in a probable-cause statement she received information from anonymous person that Castro was trying to sell a truckload of stolen tools and car parts from the back of a truck Castro also had stolen.

Moore contacted Castro on April 30, and she agreed to meet at the sheriff's office. Castro eventually admitted to selling the tools for a friend, and they had stolen them from the home of Jamie and David Lindley at Trace Creek Lane off Highway DD, Moore wrote.

Moore allowed Castro to leave on the condition she make contact with the friend and tell him she had a buyer for the tools if he could bring them to Bollinger County, Moore wrote.

Castro called the Bollinger County Sheriff's Office about an hour later and told Moore she had all the stolen tools at her residence and she was sorry for lying to her. Castro then laid out the stolen items for Moore at Bollinger County Road 822, which included 17 water shut-off valves, a cooler, a hand-held air compressor, two extension cords, a milk crate, a socket set, break bar, torque wrench and two hinch pins, Moore wrote.

Moore was unable to find a battery and alternators Castro said she stole, according to the report.
