Boardman man to be sentenced for burglary of cop's home

WARREN — A 27-year-old Boardman man who posted a photograph on the Instagram website showing him in a stolen police uniform and badge and holding a stolen gun has pleaded guilty to burglary and two counts of grand theft.

Michael S. Reddinger of Cascade Drive entered the plea before Judge Ronald Rice of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court on Thursday. He will be sentenced after the county’s Adult Probation Department conducts a pre-sentence investigation.

Girard police said Reddinger trespassed into a house on Kline Street in Girard on June 15 by removing an air-conditioning unit and took two handguns, a Brookfield Township police uniform and a Kindle Fire tablet computer.

The items belonged to the resident, who was a Brookfield police officer at the time.
