Wheelersburg woman arrested, man still at large after alleged theft at high school football game

Scioto County Sheriff David Thoroughman reports that his office received a call Friday, Aug. 25, from a victim stating that their vehicle had been broken into and items stolen. This allegedly occurred while they were at the Wheelersburg football game. One of the items stolen was a credit card.

On Saturday, Aug. 26, detectives were able to trace credit card charges made at a local gas station and at a store in New Boston. Detectives were able to identify two suspects from surveillance videos.

Detectives responded to a location in Wheelersburg and located the female suspect and arrested her without incident. The second suspect, a male, is still on the run and wanted.

Arrested was Gidget Michelle Timberman, 29, of Wheelersburg. Timberman was charged with receiving stolen property, a felony of the fifth degree; three counts of telecommunication fraud, a felony of the fifth degree; and forgery, a felony of the fifth degree.

The male suspect has been identified as Michael Dustin Kerns, aka Miller, of Wheelersburg. Kerns is currently wanted on the same charges.

This is still an ongoing investigation which could result in more charges being presented to a Scioto County grand jury on a later date. Anyone with information should contact Detective John Cart at 740-354-7327.
