Jamestown man pleads guilty in Youngsville burglary
A Jamestown man charged as part of burglaries in Youngsville has pleaded guilty to a felony charge
Nazario had been charged with burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary and criminal trespassing – entering a structure, all felony charges, as well as theft by unlawful taking and loitering and prowling at night time, both misdemeanor charges. He pleaded guilty to a felony charge of criminal conspiracy (criminal trespass) and theft by unlawful taking while the other charges were not prosecuted, though they were amended.
According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in Warren County Court by the Youngsville Police Department, Nazario allegedly stole an ebike from a garage in Youngsville valued at $1,200. The garage had been left open overnight, according to the affidavit.
A neighborhood resident was able to provide Ring doorbell camera footage showing a man and woman walking west on East Main Street, Youngsville, around 4:27 a.m. Oct. 20. The man shined a flashlight toward the garage and noticed it was open. Additional camera footage from the Country Fair store in Youngsville showed a Subaru Forester with New York registration that matched the pictures and video from the site of the burglary while the two people at Country Fair matched those seen in the Ring camera footage.
The arresting officer said Nazario met up with a woman at the Country Fair, with cameras allegedly showing Nazario getting a flashlight out of the Subaru and testing it. That flashlight, the officer said, was later seen in video used by Nazario to see into the open garage.
“Nazario is the only person that was observed walking up the driveway to the garage during this time,” the affidavit states. “Video shows Nazario riding the bike down the driveway and then him going east on East Main Street. The Subaru then follows.”
A continuance was filed for a second set of charges against Nazario by Conewango Township Police for possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and violation of light regulations. On a third docket, Nazario pleaded guilty to DUI: controlled substance schedule 2 or 3 – first offense, while a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia and three traffic offenses were not prosecuted. On a fourth docket, Nazario pleaded guilty to theft by unlawful taking while a charge of loitering and prowling at night time filed by Conewango Township police were not prosecuted.
