A man was arrested during an apparent burglary in the Village of Glenbrook.
Sumter County sheriff’s deputies were called shortly before noon Sunday to a home in the 3500 block of Worth Circle.
A deputy found an open sliding glass door at the back of the home.
Inside the home a deputy found 54-year-old Glenn Stuart Werline who lives nearby. Werline claimed he had entered the home to reclaim tools he had loaned to his neighbor. The master bedroom was in disarray, and there were two gold rings and a gold charm sitting on bags. It was apparent that the jewelry had been plucked from a jewelry box in the master bedroom, the arrest report indicated.
The deputy contacted the woman who owns the home. She is now living in an assisted living facility in The Villages. She said she knows Werline, “because he lived with his parents across the street,” the arrest report said.
He was arrested on charges of burglary and grand theft and booked at the Sumter County Detention Center.
Earlier this year, Werline was placed on probation and ordered to perform community service in connection with a golf cart crash at Publix at Southern Trace Plaza.
