The next day, the homeowner confronted two male suspects who had re-entered the home, which resulted in the homeowner discharging a firearm at one of the men.
Deputies later located and arrested Steven Schroyer, Knight, and McCubbin, one of whom had been shot.
“Thanks to the diligent work of detectives, additional suspects were quickly identified,” the sheriff’s office said. “Search warrants were executed in Trotwood and Jefferson Township, resulting in the recovery of a vehicle connected to the crime as well as several of the stolen firearms.”
