Deputy Ryan Sullivan is assigned temporarily to the Criminal Investigations Division and showcased his investigative skills quickly by solving two open burglary cases where no suspect had been previously identified. Deputy Sullivan was assigned to investigate a September burglary where the victim reported over four thousand dollars of property had been stolen.
Deputy Sullivan spoke to the burglary victim and was told an unknown person made an unauthorized Amazon purchase on his account. The purchase was tracked to the home of Everette Warren Muth (9/28/64) on NW 113 Place in Chiefland. Deputy Sullivan was able to further identify Muth was the only suspect by locating a pawned item in Ocala that was positively identified by the victim as being stolen from his home during the burglary.
Deputy Sullivan secured a search warrant for Muth’s home. Additional stolen property from this burglary was found during the search and Muth was arrested. The search also located stolen property from a second unsolved burglary. Charges on this case are being drafted.
Muth has a multi-state felony career and is currently on parole in the State of Tennessee. Muth was booked in at the Levy County Detention Facility and his bond has been set at $30,000.00.
