The Greene County Sheriff’s office arrested two individuals over the weekend from an ongoing investigation.

Sheriff Steve Haupert says at 8:56pm Friday, two deputies arrested 32 year-old Alan Randolf Haywood of Perry for driving with a suspended license and trespassing on private property. The charges stem from several calls about a suspicious truck that Haywood had parked at the intersection of First and Percival streets in Rippey.

Haupert notes that the deputies were also looking for a female who was with Haywood, but didn’t locate her at that time.

Then about eight hours later, around 5am Saturday, a deputy responded to a call about the same female trying to enter a home in the 200 block of 3rd Street in Rippey without consent. The deputy found her and arrested 37 year-old Melisa Marie Kroupa of Granger. Haupert adds that she also tried to climb into a parked vehicle at the Sparky’s One Stop gas station in Rippey earlier. Kroupa is charged with a Class D Felony for second degree attempted burglary, an aggravated misdemeanor for third degree burglary of a motor vehicle and a simple misdemeanor for interference with official acts.

Haupert says the investigation is ongoing at this time with more arrests and charges pending.

Both Haywood and Kroupa were booked and released on their own recognizance from the Greene County jail.
