Local grocery store owner Don Tate was indicted last week on charges related to an alleged burglary last year, one of 116 people indicted by a Kanawha County grand jury.
According to Prosecuting Attorney Charles Miller's office, Tate was indicted on charges of burglary, breaking and entering and petit larceny.
Tate, who owns several Fas-Chek and Save-A-Lot grocery stores, was arrested in July 2015 after he allegedly crawled through a window of a home on Chappell Road and took a vacuum cleaner. The incident was captured by video surveillance cameras.
At his arraignment, Tate said that he had bought the vacuum cleaner at an estate sale, but forgot to take it home.
An indictment does not mean a person is guilty of a crime; it just means the grand jury has found enough evidence to warrant a criminal trial.
Those indicted should report to the following Kanawha circuit judges at the following times:
