A St. Joseph teenager made his first court appearance Tuesday in connection with the alleged burglary of a Sprint store.

Sebit Tut, 17 is charged in Buchanan County with a felony for burglary.

According to court documents, officers with the St. Joseph Police Department responded Sunday shortly after 4 a.m. to a burglary alarm at the Sprint store located at 3715 Frederick.

Det. Greg Ogdahl said in the probable cause statement that an officer located Tut running from the area of the alarm.

“The suspect tossed two cell phones that were stolen from the building as he ran from officers,” Ogdahl said. “Entry was gained to the building by breaking a window.”

As we previously reported, officers arrested a 17-year-old and two juveniles in connection with a burglary Sunday morning at the Sprint Store on Frederick.

Tut appeared by video conference Tuesday morning for an arraignment. He’s scheduled for a preliminary hearing for Dec. 9.  Tut is currently being held on $10,000 bail.
