A Carroll woman faces theft charges after she was found in possession of items reported stolen from a storage unit last month. Carroll County District Court records show 46-year-old Dawn Maria Miller made her initial appearance Thursday on one count of third-degree theft, an aggravated misdemeanor. She was arrested on Nov. 6 by the Carroll Police Department following an investigation into a reported break-in on Oct. 14 at the unit in the 1700 block of U.S. Highway 71. On Oct. 20, authorities located a stolen toolbox and mail addressed to Miller in a nearby unrented unit. She was also found in possession of a snowblower from the victim’s storage unit on Oct. 28. Miller pled not guilty to the charge and was released after posting a $2,000 surety bond. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 9. An aggravated misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of up to two years in prison and $6,250 in fines.
