ALLEGHENY TWP — A five-time convicted burglar awaiting trial in Clarion County for two more burglaries is now accused of breaking into a home in June in this northern Butler County community.

State police in Butler on Tuesday charged Joshua Andrew Greenawalt, 26, of Beaver Township, Clarion County, with burglary and theft, both felonies, and a summary count of trespass.

Those charges stem from the alleged break-in of Paul Dunkel’s home on Foxburg Road.

Police suspect Greenawalt between June 15 and 25, while Dunkel was away, forced open a door to the house and garage, according to court documents.

He made off with guns and power tools worth nearly $10,000, police said.

By the time Dunkel discovered the crime, state police in Clarion had arrested Greenawalt on charges he burglarized a Beaver Township home June 26.

During a warrant search of the defendant’s home in July, police found numerous stolen items, including Dunkel’s guns and other property, documents said.

Police, on the same day of the search, charged Greenawalt with another burglary June 26 in Beaver Township.

In a separate case, police also charged him with possessing stolen guns at his home. A felon, Greenawalt is not legally allowed to have any firearms.

Greenawalt is currently in the Clarion County Jail on $80,000 bail, in connection with the three cases in that county.

Those cases, which include 19 charges, 10 of them felonies, are pending trial.

Meanwhile, Clarion County Court records showed that Greenawalt in 2008 was convicted in five separate burglaries and sentenced to 5 years in state prison.
