A man is facing 16 charges stemming from burglaries in the Portland area between 2019 and 2021.

According to the Multnomah County DA’s office, 44-year-old Jerod Gunter’s alleged string of burglaries began in the fall of 2019 when he and others stole roughly $25,000 from a Southeast Portland bar.

In 2020, Gunter was involved in additional burglaries, ranging from small independent businesses such as cannabis dispensaries to Trader Joes, Carl’s Junior, and Elmers, the DA’s office said.

Gunter and his associates allegedly stole thousands of dollars over the course of two years and spent the money on drugs and gambling, the DA’s office said.

The Court set Gunter’s bail to $50,000.
