According to court records, arriving deputies saw broken glass, and surveillance footage showed a female breaking a window to gain access. The footage also revealed the woman, later identified as Guth, was driving a black Toyota Solara.
According to an affidavit, on January 10, a Posey County deputy conducted a traffic stop on the Toyota where the computer was recovered. Deputies also recovered the stolen golf clubs from a nearby residence.
Officials state Guth later admitted to the crime when questioned about the items.
'I'm grateful Ms. Guth has been held accountable for her criminal behavior,' said Posey County Prosecutor Thomas Clowers. 'She made the decision to break in and steal from a Posey County business, and she's going to serve a prison sentence because of her actions. Of course, this would not have been possible without the investigative efforts of the Posey County Sheriff's Office. Within a short period of time after the burglary, law enforcement was able to identify and apprehend Ms. Guth, as well as recover the stolen property.'
Guth will serve her sentence at the Indiana Department of Correction.
