State police in Somerset have charged two Salisbury men with taking metal wire valued at approximately $100,000 from a property in Black Township, Somerset County, and reselling it as scrap. Geread Hoover, 43, and Ryan Merrbach, 35, are each charged with one count of burglary, criminal trespassing and criminal mischief, all felonies, as well as misdemeanor charges of theft of secondary metal and defiant trespassing. Hoover is also charged with one felony count of identity theft, as well as evading arrest, escape and resisting arrest charges that were added in October after he was apprehended by county detectives and the Somerset County Sheriff's office . "After months of searching for Geread Hoover, the Somerset County Sheriff’s Department, working alongside county detectives, successfully apprehended him following a stakeout and a foot pursuit," the sheriff's office posted on Oct. 21 on its official Facebook page.
