More charges stem from Houston County burglary investigation

WARNER ROBINS -- A 19-year-old has been charged with 11 additional charges after his arrest last week in connection with a burglary investigation.

Geronimo Hilario Pinon of Warner Robins was arrested Friday on charges of burglary, identity fraud and party to the crime of financial transaction card fraud. Two others also were arrested in connection with the Nov. 3 burglary in the 100 block of Cottonfield Court in Southfield Plantation.

Multiple firearms, electronics, jewelry, narcotics and $16,000 in cash were recovered from Pinon's Dixie Trail residence after his arrest.

That evidence was used to connect Pinon to other crimes, including drug trafficking and entering autos, said Houston County sheriff's Capt. Jon Holland. Pinon also is suspected of being part of a gang, Holland said.

Pinon now faces charges of trafficking methamphetamine, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of the pain medication hydrocodone, possession of hashish oil, possession of the anti-impotence drug Viagra and failure to keep drugs in their original container.

Pinon also was charged with unlawful possession of weapons, possession of a firearm during a crime and participation in criminal gang activity. In addition, he was charged with two counts of theft by receiving stolen property.

The two others arrested Friday with Pinon were William Buddy Crosby Jr., 19, and Angelica Celeste Conley, 20, both of Warner Robins.

Crosby was charged with burglary, identity fraud, being a party to financial transaction card fraud and a probation violation.

Conley was charged with hindering punishment/apprehension, tampering with evidence and being a party to burglary. She also was charged with two counts of financial transaction card fraud.

All were being held Wednesday at the Houston County jail without bond.

Authorities are still looking for a gray 2007 Dodge pickup stolen in the burglary and thought to have been abandoned in the Warner Robins area. The Georgia tag is PFN 9196.

Residents are asked to call their local law enforcement agency if they spot the stolen pickup.

Anyone with any related information about the burglary is asked to call Houston County sheriff's Sgt. George Runyon at 478-542-2080 or 478-542-2085.
