A man from Pierre has been charged in connection with an early morning burglary Saturday (May 20, 2023) in Pierre.
Information from the Pierre Police Department says a commercial burglary alarm was received from a business in the 800 block of East Wells Avenue Saturday at 4:30am. When they arrived, they observed a window to the store had been broken out. An employee was inside the business before opening for the day. Officers reviewed video surveillance and were able to identify the suspect as Daryen Ley. Ley appeared to have cut himself while reaching inside the business to steal alcohol. Officers were able to follow a blood trail from the scene and located the suspect in a nearby parking lot. As officers were making contact with him, Ley fled. The suspect ran a short distance before falling to the ground. Officers were able to take him into custody at that time.
Ley is charged with Burglary, Petty Theft, Intentional Damage to Property, Obstructing an Officer and Possession of a Controlled Substance.
