Judge John Wolking continued the case Friday against Ricky Ray Record, 45, of Mustang on charges of 2nd degree burglary and concealing stolen property for the Oct. 28 burglary of a business located at 308 E SH 152 in Mustang. Wolking continued the case until Sept. 8 to allow Record time to obtain an attorney.

According to Mustang police, Bobby and Kathleen Bennett, owners of Bennett Trucking, filed a complaint on Oct. 31, 2005 alleging that Record, who did odd jobs for them, broke into their business on Oct. 27 or 28th and took impact wrenches, an air grinder, a saw, hi-lo jack, television/VCR and various hand tools. According to court documents, Mrs. Bennett confronted Record at the site after a neighbor called to advise her that a black Chevy Blazer was backed up to the east door of their business. Record allegedly told Mrs. Bennett that he was there at her husband’s request, however Mr. Bennett was out of town so Mrs. Bennett told Record to leave. She advised police that she was unaware of the missing items at that time.

On Nov. 20, 2005, Mr. Bennett told police that he recovered two ½ inch impact wrenches, taken in the burglary, from inside the black Chevy Blazer owned by Record’s girlfriend. Bennett said markings on the items verified his ownership.

An arrest warrant was issued by the District Attorney’s office and served by the Canadian County Sheriff's officers on June 30, 2006. If convicted, Records could receive 7 to 20 years for the burglary charge and up to 5 years or a $500 fine or both for the charge of concealing stolen property.
