SHERBURNE – A burglary suspect was arrested last week after a concerned citizen told police he’d been given a handgun he believed to be stolen.

The Chenango County Sheriff’s Office charged 25-year-old Michael J. Mathis of Smyrna with second degree burglary, fourth degree grand larceny and third degree criminal possession of a weapon, all felonies.

Lt. Richard Cobb said the crime took place between Aug. 1 and Aug. 9.

He said the victim of the crime was unaware his firearm had been stolen until a number of days later, when he went to retrieve it.
