Port Clinton man charged with burglary

PORT CLINTON – A Port Clinton man wanted on a burglary charge turned himself in Tuesday morning at the Sandusky Police Department.

Dan Appleman, 37, is charged with one felony count of burglary after allegedly breaking into a Fremont Road home Friday afternoon.

According to a police report, windows on the west and south sides of the house were kicked in leading to a small storage area with boxes and other items. Police reported finding footprints in multiple locations and partial prints on a staircase leading to the kitchen.

A elderly resident said she heard a loud crash noise in the basement and thought her cat had knocked something down.

The report says medication and jewelery boxes were missing, including valuables missing from the top of her bedroom dresser. The report said other jewelry boxes were open along the bed. The window was opened and a cut out of the screen was made to exit the home, police reported.

The resident said a watch, valued at about $200, also was missing from her home.
