Felon allegedly pretended to be FBI agent, stole automatic weapon from Marion County trailer
FAIRMONT, (WBOY) — A Mannington man was charged after he allegedly broke into a Marion County home and pretended to be an FBI agent.
On April 22, deputies with the Marion County Sheriff's Office learned of a break-in at a trailer on Sycamore Hollow Road, according to a criminal complaint.
During the alleged break in, Kaleb Rhoades, 33, of Mannington, 'did steal multiple items,' including a Glock model 23 .40 caliber automatic pistol, deputies said.
Deputies were able to perform a traffic stop on Rhoades, who was operating a 'stolen white 2020 Ford F-150,' and during the stop, Rhoades impersonated a law enforcement officer, 'claiming he was an FBI agent with a search warrant for the burglary victim,' according to the complaint.
