A 911 caller from Great Cacapon alerted police to a burglary that took place at a residence on Rocky Pine Lane on Monday, May 4 at about 5:30 p.m.

The caller said they check on their cousin’s home there about once a month. This time, they saw signs of forced entry through a ground level front window.

They also reported seeing a woman in a pink or purple shirt and dark pants jump from a low second story roof and run into the woods, according to a criminal complaint filed in Morgan County Magistrate Court by Morgan County Sheriff’s Deputy Bradley K. Knotts.

Deputy Diehl and Deputy Barker also responded, locating a man and a woman running through the woods west of the residence.

The suspects initially attempted to evade the deputies before being detained near the edge of Cacapon Road.

The woman, identified as Betty Brown, 46, matched the description given by the caller.

Brown was arrested, and later released, on a pending capias charge, issued for violating a court order from a previous violation.

The man, identified as Derek A. Keller, 38, of Paw Paw was released pending an investigation.

Evidence at the scene placed Keller inside the residence on Rocky Pine Lane, where several items were reported missing by the owner, according to the criminal complaint.

A warrant was issued for Keller’s arrest, and was served by three West Virginia State Troopers at a residence on Magnolia Road in Great Cacapon on Sunday, June 7 at about 3:30 p.m.

Keller came outside and indicated Brown was inside, hiding in the back of the house.

A search found a capsule of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia in the living room, according to a criminal complaint filed in Morgan County Magistrate Court by Trooper B.L. Beard.

Keller was arrested and charged with burglary and possession of a controlled substance.

Brown was arrested on two counts of capias and a burglary charge.

Both remain incarcerated at Eastern Regional Jail. Keller has requested a trial by jury.
