KALISPELL- The fourth suspect in the Ashley Lake home burglary has been arrested and
linked with another Kalispell burglary and two other people.

Jeff Weldele, 29, was found and arrested Thursday for his alleged role in burglarizing a North Ashley Lake Road home last month where several guns were stolen.

26-year-old Ashley Ekern of Whitefish, Brandon Stanfield, 30, and 23-year-old Nathan Bayreuther of Kalispell were also arrested in a reported connection to the North Ashley Lake Road burglary.

The Flathead County Sheriff's Department learned that Weldele was also reportedly involved in a Spring Hill Road burglary where about 50 guns were stolen in early January.

34 year old Aaron Zelenik of Bigfork and 25 year old Kandice Tellegen of Kalispell were arrested for their reported connection in the Spring Hill Road burglary.

The Flathead County Sheriff's Department says it appears that the suspects may have wanted to steal the guns to sell or trade for drugs.
