RICHARD SNYDER SET FOR CUMBERLAND COUNTY COURT DOCKET ON AGGRAVATED BURGALRY CHARGES
Richard Lee Todd Snyder is slated to appear in the Cumberland County General Sessions Criminal Court on Thursday, August 27, 2026, facing felony charges stemming from a January burglary.
Snyder, 50, represented by the Public Defenderโs office, faces two primary charges on the upcoming docket:
-
Aggravated Burglary (Habitation)
-
Theft of Property ($10,000โ$60,000)
According to Cumberland County Sheriffโs Office reports, deputies responded to a burglary in progress on Big Horn Drive late on the night of January 27, 2026. A property executor monitoring live security footage spotted a suspect kicking in a crawl space door and entering the unoccupied home, which belonged to an estate.
Deputies Holden Atkinson and Curry arrived on the scene within minutes. Upon clearing the crawl space, officers discovered Snyder alongside co-defendant Donnie James Rector Jr., 48, hiding in the rear.
Law enforcement detained both men without incident. Next to the suspects, officers recovered a duffle bag containing extensive burglary tools, including:
-
A Ryobi Sawzall
-
A sledgehammer and crowbar
-
Wire cutters, channel locks, and marked tin snips
While the suspects claimed they entered the residence simply โto stay warm,โ officers noted physical evidence of forced entry, including a muddy boot print on the shattered door frame. Both men were arrested on-view, and the property representatives subsequently requested that the suspects be formally banned from the premises.
