By Staff Report-

CROMWELL - Three Ligonier men were arrested late Thursday morning after allegedly breaking into a residence in the Enchanted Hills subdivision.

Richard Cory Ratliff, 21; Thomas Wayne Gibson, 34; and Chad Jason Cook, 26, are each charged with burglary to a residence. Bonds for Ratliff and Gibson were set at $250 each and Cook, who is also wanted on a warrant in Noble County, is being held without bond.

According to the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, a neighbor to the North Sir Gallahad Place residence that the men were allegedly inside of called police about 10:45 a.m. The three men were reportedly still inside when police arrived and were held at gunpoint until they could be taken into custody.

The men reportedly forced open a back door to the vacant residence. The previous owner was apparently recently evicted from the home and ownership is listed as Aames Capital Mortgage, Irvine, Calif. The front door of the house is padlocked.

The three men allegedly told police that they were looking at the house as a possible place to rent, but one of the men reportedly had a shirt that was left behind in the home stuffed into his pants.
