A continuance has been granted in the case involving 40-year-old Michael Vetor of Yellville charged with felony counts of residential burglary and theft of property.
The continuance was granted Wednesday in Marion County Circuit Court. Judge Gordon Webb granted the continuance until August 20th.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the charges against Vetor stem from an incident in February 2016 in which he is alleged to have taken a rifle from a Marion County residence. The incident reportedly occurred while Vetor distracted the juvenile son of the resident of the home, allowing his female companion to enter the residence and take the weapon.
The following morning in a cell phone conversation, Vetor is alleged to have admitting taking the gun to pay a debt.
Vetor was interviewed in March in the Baxter County Detention Center, as he awaited extradition for an outstanding warrant in Wisconsin. At that time, the female had not been located. Online court records do not indicate an arrest for her.
The affidavit noted the two have extensive criminal histories reflecting charges of probation violations, failure to appear, failure to pay fines, criminal trespass, possession of a controlled substance, third degree battery, breaking and entering, theft of property, and fleeing at both misdemeanor and felony levels.
Vetor’s bond was set at $20,000.
