The third and final suspect in a breaking and entering case that resulted in a shelterin- place warning being issued for the city of Buena Vista during a manhunt last January was indicted by a Buena Vista grand jury last week.
Gregory Allen Kersey, 46, of Buena Vista, was indicted on two felony counts of burglary (breaking and entering with intent to commit larceny).
He is scheduled to be arraigned in Buena Vista Circuit Court on those charges on Friday, and on two misdemeanor charges: assault and battery and obstruction of justice. Kersey failed to appear in Buena Vista General District Court last July for a preliminary hearing and a capias warrant was issued for his arrest at that time.
The other two individuals who were charged in the same incident, Tytray Martin of Highland Springs and Dakota Camden of Roanoke, were indicted by a grand jury last July on two felony counts of burglary and one misdemeanor count of assault and battery apiece.
Martin pleaded not guilty to the charges and a trial was scheduled for Jan 25 and 26. Martin failed to appear in court for a pretrial hearing on Jan. 5 and a capias warrant was issued that has not been executed. His attorney withdrew from the case and the scheduled trial was cancelled. Camden pleaded guilty to the charges last September and is scheduled to be sentenced on April 1. -The following individuals were also indicted by the Buena Vista grand jury on Jan. 24.
