Monticello — A Burnside man has been arrested in connection with the burglary at a rural Wayne County grocery store.
According to Wayne County Sheriff Charles Boston, Anthony Slone, 28 was charged with burglary third degree, receiving stolen property under $10,000, fleeing or evading police and receiving stolen property under $500.
