INWOOD, W.Va. — The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office says a man was caught letting dogs out of their kennels at an Inwood animal clinic.
Deputies responded to a burglary in progress call at the Inwood Animal Center at around 4 a.m. on July 5.
The caller told police the subject, later identified as Thomas Isaiah Renzy, 27, of Martinsburg, had illegally gained access to the building. When officers arrived, they reported seeing the suspect inside opening doors to the dog kennels and letting the dogs loose inside the building.
Eventually deputies and state police troopers were able to take the suspect into custody as the suspect opened one of the exterior doors. They said he had a strong odor of “an alcoholic beverage” on his breath.
Renzy has been charged with breaking and entering and released on a $30,000 bond.
