Dwight D. Moose of Lutherville, Md. and Barrett L. Tucker of Glen Arm. Md were indicted by a grand jury in Augusta County, which determined that enough evidence was present to warrant a trial by judge in Augusta County Circuit Court. Moose and Tucker were arraigned Jan. 22 on charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny of Oak Manor, the stables of the JMU Equestrian Team. Augusta County court records state that the two men are charged with the theft of saddles, bridles, saddle parts, halters and blankets in excess of $200— the minimum amount for a charge of grand larceny. The Breeze reported Jan. 27 that Theodosia Ehle, stable owner, said about $6,800 worth of equipment was stolen from her stables, in addition to two saddles valued at $1,000 and $800. belonging to a JMU student and a Bridgewater College student. The actual value of the allegedly stolen equipment is "a matter very much in dispute." according to the students' attorney. Cabell Cobbs of Augusta County. Cobbs explained in The Breeze Jan 27 article that Ehle values the equipment at its original price, whereas much of it was used at the time of the theft.
