Butler charged in burglary
By AMIE CATO-REMER Editor,

A Watts man is charged with felony burglary in the second degree after allegedly breaking and entering into a building on E. 990 Road in Vian.

Robey L. Butler, 34, could face imprisonment for up to seven years if found guilty of the charge, according to District Attorney Jack Thorp.

Butlerwasformallycharged on Nov. 1 in Sequoyah County District Court and a warrant was issued for his arrest on Nov. 7, according to court records. He received no bond and is now set for a Nov. 29 felony disposition docket before Associate District Judge Kyle Waters.

Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s deputy Justin Deuley reported on Oct. 10 he was dispatched to the location after an individual reported they caught another person allegedly stealing from their property.

The reporting party told the deputy the property belonged to her father and she’d put a camper and trailer on it. She said she’d left items there and when she passed by that day, she noticed a truck parked in her yard with some of her things in the back of it.

The reporting party said when she pulled in to confront the man in her yard (Butler), he told her he went into abandoned homes and yards and cleaned them up. The reporting party said the doors were open and her things were lying everywhere, as if they had been gone through.

The reporting party took photos of the man and the truck, and said when she went to take photos of the truck tag, the man ripped the paper tag off, according to the affidavit.

The reporting party said the man unloaded the items from the back of his truck before he left the property. The reporting party said she’d also sold a camper to a man and he told her he’d come get it when he could. She stated on Oct. 9, she saw the same truck leaving with the camper.

The deputy proceeded to the East Lake Hills area and when he drove by a certain property, he said he saw a camper and took a photo of it. The reporting party was able to identify the camper as the camper she’d sold.

Dispatch contacted the deputy shortly after, stating the male (Butler) that was reportedly involved wanted to speak with him regarding the incident. Butler claimed he was making a video for his YouTube channel and couldn’t speak any further because he had to go to work.

On Oct. 16, deputy Steven Jenkins reported he was assigned the case and Butler was at the Sheriff ’s Office regarding a separate incident when he asked Butler if he could speak with him about the alleged theft. Butler told Jenkins the reporting party had shown up and was acting belligerent because she believed her belongings were in his vehicle while on the property.

He said the only items in his vehicle were his own, and denied ever breaking into the camper or having the items in his truck.
