Pilot Knob, Mo. (KFMO) - Deputies with the Iron County Sheriff’s Office have arrested four suspects in connection with the burglary of The Feed Store in Pilot Knob earlier this month.

Authorities say the break-in occurred during the early morning hours of Tuesday, November 11, when someone forcefully entered the building. Staff later discovered that a large amount of merchandise and cash had been stolen and contacted law enforcement. Deputies collected evidence at the scene and quickly developed potential suspects.

A stop-and-hold alert was issued, and on Thursday, November 13, deputies with the St. Francois County Sheriff’s Office took two individuals into custody. On November 17, officers with the Mineral Area Drug Task Force, the St. Francois County Sheriff’s Office, and Operation Relentless Pursuit located and arrested the remaining two suspects.

ron County deputies then executed a search warrant at a residence in St. Francois County, leading to the formal arrests and charges. Robert T. Siegler, Kyle E. Schwanter Jr., Jayme R. Hollingshead, and Emily M. Conley have each been charged with second-degree burglary, stealing, and first-degree property damage.

All four suspects are being held without bond at the Iron County Jail.
