Caleb J. Prose, 45, of Girard, was charged Saturday with burglary, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Wednesday.

Prose was arrested after a traffic stop in Hennepin Township and after a brief investigation into a burglary of the closed Illinois Power plant facility in rural Hennepin.

Prose is being housed at the Putnam County Jail after being remanded following a detention hearing March 17.

Prose was on pretrial release from Montgomery County for a burglary to a closed power plant in February that led to the recovery of about $500,000 in property, police said.
