| On 11/28/2018, a residential burglary was reported in the 16000 block of Curtis Trail in Lockwood Valley. Lockwood Deputies responded to the location and found that the single family residences had been entered by force and a substantial amount of jewelry and valuables taken. The interior of the house had been left in disarray as drawers had been removed and their contents dumped onto the floor. Deputies processed the scene for evidence. Through an extensive investigation, information was obtained that Christopher Ringgold and Robin Ellis were involved in the burglary and the subsequent disposal of stolen property. On November 29, 2018, Robin Ellis was contacted and found to be in possession of drugs and stolen property from the burglary on Curtis Trail. Ellis was arrested and booked into the Pre-Trial Detention Facility for possession of controlled substances, possession of stolen property and possession of drug paraphernalia.
