    $60,000 burglary: 3 arrested, one still wanted 

    Templeton Burglary

    Clockwise from top left are suspects in a Templeton burglary, Alichia Renee Starnes, Carisa Ann Livingston, Josh Michael Bishop, and Maria Michele Romo.

    On Sept. 24, a San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Deputy received a report of a burglary which had taken place at 1:50 p.m. in the 1000 block of Hemingway Lane in Templeton. The victim told the deputy that someone had broken into his house on Sept. 23 while he was away shopping and they had taken coins, jewelry, and gold pieces worth an estimated $60,000.

    The victim says later that same day, two of the suspects came to his home, described what they had done and returned some of the stolen items. On Sept. 24 another suspect came to the victim’s home and returned more of the stolen items.

    Based on surveillance video from the victim’s residence as well as statements from the suspects, three people were arrested in connection with this burglary and a fourth suspect is still outstanding.

    40-year-old Maria Michele Romo was arrested on charges of burglary and grand theft. 35-year-old Alichia Renee Starnes of San Luis Obispo was arrested on charges that include receiving stolen property, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia. And 27-year-old Carisa Ann Livingston of Creston was arrested on a charge of possession of a controlled substance.

    The fourth suspect, 25-year-old Josh Michael Bishop is still outstanding. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Bishop you are asked to contact Detective Burgeson at (805) 781-4550. The investigation into this incident is continuing.

    Addiction will make you do things you would not normally do. Very sad and continue to pray for the still suffering addict.

    If u say your tired of the pray for the addict still suffering then you obviously don't know what its like, bc when you or a family member or friend are consumed by an addiction you know the only thing you can do is Pray you never know if one day your son or daughter may be addicted but the one thing you will want to do is pray that they are free from it and able to heal. it was a very foolish thing to do yes, but it doesn't mean they're bad people it means they're sick and need help. I don't know all of these people but I do know my best friend Alichia and she is an amazing girl very loving but very lost right now, she has a good heart but her judgment is clouded right now so until your a saint remember you too will be judged one day so have some compassion and hope they get the help they're obviously in desperate need of!

    Gina Scudder

    Brenda- your comments are rude and uncalled for. I pray for you that you never have to go through what the families of these girls are going through. In one second of bad choices any one of your loved ones can turn into this. It can happen to anyone. And these girls are the true victims of meth. They are suffering and need help not judgement. Thank God for people with a heart and the means to help!

    Judy Tosti Sumner

    Brenda -if you really new a family with addiction they try every thing they can and even thing they can't afford but in the end all they can do is pray because it's the addic that has to do for them selfs no one can do it for them !!!!!

    Meth sucks ..Tweekers suck. there was a day when they could have walked away and said NO…they didn't ..now their paying the price….maybe a glimmer of hope for some…In the meantime they raise havoc at other peoples expense and need to be stopped….and punished just like any other common criminal or thief…..I wasn't born yesterday..have known drug users all my life….some of them never did any crime except use drugs …some where just evil thieving sometimes violent bastards..these are the ones we be on the look out for.

    Omg josh is the same guy who robbed me ,3 years ago ….

    Meriah Aanerud-Corsbie

    Erin Danielle

    Judy Tosti Sumner

    I was talking about the family's of meth herion they try to help there love ones but the addic has to want to change you can't do it for them I'm sorry about you're brother

    Ashley Raber

    right!

    Iva Morris

    It is my belief that because one is an addict does not necessarily mean that they become thieves, kidnappers, murderers or depend on family and friends to subsidize their habits. It is who the person is to begin with that determines what they are capable of when they are fueled by the overwhelming desires and needs of an addiction. I believe that they will hurt or degrade themselves (i.e. stripping, prostitution, porn) rather than ever accost or rob or kill another person. Just say'n.

    Brenda Bartenstein

    save the pity party, find out who the puto you guys are speaking on really is… sometimes when you try to pay for the pussy the pussy ends up costing just a little more than you expected about sixty thousand more than you expected but hey who's counting. pay for what you get right.

    Eric Manhart

    How bout the victim , the one who's lost things that was handed down through family. How bout the one who was giving a helping hand to an obvious unhealthy person. No strings or expectations just good intentions and this is what thank you is. What happened to people helping one another and not getting ripped off and blatten disrespect.

    Lisa Becerra

    How about the supposed victim is a methhead and a herion addict and needs to stop trying to make false insurance claims….but that's not in the paper is it
