PAINTSVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky State Police say they caught two men unloading items stolen from a storage center and arrested a third man in the case, while the search continues for a fourth.

A trooper was stopped Thursday by a man who showed him videos of men breaking into a storage unit at Action Storage.

Later, while patrolling Eighth Street in Paintsville, the trooper spotted Steven Tyler Rose, 41, of Flat Gap, and William Thomas Tomblin, 50, of Lexington, unloading tools and storage bins full of equipment and taking them inside a residence. The man who reported the break-in was able to identify the items as equipment from his company and sentimental items from his late father.

When asked about the equipment, Rose and Tomblin said two other men had left the items in Tomblin’s vehicle, but they didn’t know why. They also could not explain why they were taking them into the home of Tomblin’s girlfriend.

Police say Rose was wearing a hat identical to the one worn by the man in the video who cut the locks on the storage unit. Police also said neither man claimed to know anything about a bag of meth found on the ground by them.

Rose and Tomblin were both arrested on charges of burglary, theft, receiving stolen property, criminal mischief and meth possession.

The next day, police also arrested one of the other two men Rose and Tomblin claimed had been involved. Terry Burchett, 50, of Stambaugh, was arrested on all of the same charges as Rose and Tomblin, except for meth possession.

The fourth man has still not been arrested.
