Casper Man Denies Casper Mountain Burglary Allegations

A 21-year-old Casper man has denied allegations that he participated in several burglaries on Casper Mountain last summer and fall.

Richard Fielder entered not guilty pleas to four counts of burglary and eight counts of property destruction in Natrona County District Court on Friday.

Natrona County Sheriff’s Office investigators say they received several calls between August and October of last year regarding break-ins near Hummingbird Hallow, Crimson Dawn, Circle Drive and KTWO Road.

Three other males have also been charged in connection with the break-ins. All three men - 19-year-old James Tuschling of Glenrock, 17-year-old Robert Wnuk of Casper and 19-year-old Travis Brown of Casper - have entered not guilty pleas.

Fielder is free on bond awaiting trial.
