MERIDIAN -- A Nampa man is facing felony charges after police say they linked him to a recent break-in and theft of guns and other weapons in Meridian.

Logan Dean Glenn, 27, was arrested Wednesday on other warrants as he left his home in the 3300 block of N. 15th Avenue. Glenn was carrying two stolen pistols when he was taken into custody, and two shotguns and three compound bows taken during the burglary were found inside his house.

Two of the burglary victim's rifles were also recovered at an address in Caldwell, and charges connected to the gun thefts are pending against a second man. That suspect is currently in custody on other charges, police say, and his name will be released once he is officially charged in the burglary case.

The suspects are accused of holding a woman at gunpoint Tuesday after she went into the home on East Gannet Drive to find them breaking into the gun safe. The woman, a relative of the homeowner, was able to escape by running out the front door and calling for help.

Police credited an "alert neighbor" who snapped photos of the suspects' older-model black Dodge pickup with helping solve the case. Investigators were able to connect the Dodge to Glenn.

Although the guns' owner originally told investigators that as many as a dozen weapons might be missing, all of the stolen firearms have been accounted for and recovered, police say.

Glenn, who was convicted of a felony drug charge in 2016, was booked into the Canyon County Jail. He is charged with felony counts of robbery, burglary and kidnapping, and faces up to life in prison if convicted.
