 While two trucks and ATV and four firearms were stolen from several different homes near Little Falls yesterday, the Morrison County Sheriff's Office reports the 37-year-old Blaine Baloo of Onamia is in custody for the crimes. At around 7 in the morning the Sheriff's Office received a report of a stolen ATV from a home just east of Little Falls. Deputies found the ATV in a ditch and footprints led to another home where a truck was stolen. In all, Baloo is believed to have broken into four different homes. In this case there was three burglaries within a five-mile radius between the cities of Little Falls and Peers and then the fourth break-in occurred approximately eight miles north of Peers off Highway 25. At the fourth home several firearms, ammunition and some other miscellaneous items were stolen thanks to a public tip from a man north of Harding. Authorities were able to apprehend Baloo after following footprints to a swampy wooded area. A couple good things about this case is there was a good collaboration from the beginning until the end until the suspect was actually apprehended. Good communication between all law enforcement, our dispatchers, the public and at the end of the day we had a couple tips that were called into us. Baloo is currently being held at the Morrison County Jail awaiting formal charges for first-degree burglary.
