Last week in Rogers County, Oklahoma, there were reports of multiple burglaries. The culpret, according to the Rogers County Sheriffs department, is Jason Conrad Lewis.

Lewis reportedly stole Guns, Motorcycle parts, Jewelry, saddles, a welding machine, electronics, and cash from dozens homes, mostly in Rogers County. This merchandise was sold on popular auction website eBay, as well as a Gun Broker website called Gunbroker. Gunbroker.com is a website that allows for the sale of guns, ammunition, vehicles, gear and more.

Lewis does not appear to be alone in the crimes. Patrick and Karri Medlin were also arrested, because much of the stolen merchandise was discovered in their home.

Rogers County Sherriff Scott Walton said, “We know these are very active thugs that continue to victimize people, Rogers County, as well as surrounding counties and use the internet to market these items.”

According to Scott Walton, Gunbroker and eBay were the two main websites used to sell the stolen merchandise, but there may be more as well.

The Sheriff’s department says that there may be more arrests to come.
