An Owensboro man is facing multiple burglary and theft charges that reportedly occurred on Millers Mill Road in the early morning hours of Friday, July 22, 2016.
The Daviess County Sheriff’s Office reports 24 year old Jacob Wilkerson was arrested around 12:05 a.m. Thursday for attempting to break into several homes and vehicles.
