JAY — A second person has been charged in a case involving the theft of 21 guns and other items from a Walker Hill Road home Jan. 27, 2012.
Heather Gatcomb, 34, was issued a court summons Friday charging her with receiving stolen firearms, Jay police Chief Larry White Sr. said.
She is expected to appear in Franklin County Superior Court in Farmington on April 3.
