The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of a South Dakota man following a trespassing call on Friday morning. At approximately 9:10 a.m. Deputies were called to rural Thurman for a report of a male trespassing at a previously flooded farm. The man fled the scene but was later located at another previously flooded property in the 1500 block of Western Avenue.

Deputies made contact with the driver and uncovered evidence of burglary and attempted theft at that location. The vehicle was also reported stolen out of Kansas. The driver, 38-year-old Jonathon Lee Getz of Yankon, South Dakota, was then arrested.

Fremont County K-9 Roby was deployed in an evidence search and a firearm was located, concealed near the structure.

Getz was charged with two counts of Burglary 2nd Degree, Theft 1st from a disaster affected building, Motor Vehicle Theft 2nd, Possession of a Short-Barreled Rifle, and Possession of a firearm by a felon.

Getz was held at the Fremont County Jail on no bond pending an appearance with a Magistrate. More charges are pending in the case.
