Those charges against 25-year-old Luis David Penaloza-Garcia are associated with a June 9th rural Adair County residential break-in. His cash or surety bond was listed as $30,000.

Penaloza-Garcia allegedly tried to break-into a residence southwest of Casey, on June 9th after he allegedly crashed a stolen vehicle he was driving on I-80, near the Adair rest areas. A resident of the home heard suspicious noises, and shot Penaloza-Garcia when he found the man inside his home.
