Man charged with burglary and criminal contempt after entering Sheldon Dollar General

Scott S. Klein, 43, of Java Town, was arrested following a trespass complaint that occurred at the Dollar General in the Town of Sheldon on February 21st, 2026, law‑enforcement records show. Authorities charged Klein with Burglary in the 3rd degree and Criminal Contempt in the 2nd degree after the entry, and he was arraigned in Warsaw Village Court and released on his own recognizance.

County logs and a Videonewsservice chronology place the entry on Feb. 21 and note an earlier trespass from the store on Jan. 13. Videonewsservice additionally reports that a "temporary stay away order of protection" was issued on Jan. 26, "protecting the store employees," and that Klein's Feb. 21 presence at the Sheldon Dollar General violated both the trespass notice and that temporary order.

The criminal counts filed against Klein are listed specifically as Burglary in the 3rd degree and Criminal Contempt in the 2nd degree. Court records cited in the reports show Klein was arraigned in Warsaw Village Court after his Feb. 21 arrest and released without bail on his own recognizance. He is scheduled to answer the charges in Town of Sheldon Court on March 17, 2026.

Local law‑enforcement logs published on Feb. 25 recorded the incident and corroborate the earlier trespass and the Jan. 26 protection order; those logs report that Klein "entered a Dollar General in the Town of Sheldon despite being previously trespassed from the store." Multiple sources resolve the timing by noting the log publication date of Feb. 25 reflects when the incident was recorded publicly, while the alleged violation and arrest took place on Feb. 21.

The same collection of law‑enforcement items that recorded Klein’s arrest includes unrelated cases processed through Warsaw Village Court. One entry names an individual identified only as Collins, charged with Criminal Mischief in the 3rd degree, a class E felony, and Criminal Mischief 4th degree, a class A misdemeanor; that person was released with an appearance ticket and is expected to return to Town of Arcade Court. A separate Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office release details a Feb. 17 response to an Order of Protection violation that led to the arrest of 24‑year‑old Katie Legg of Silver Springs, NY; Legg was charged with Criminal Contempt in the first degree and Aggravated Family Offense, both described as Class E felonies, arraigned in Warsaw Village Court, released on her own recognizance, and scheduled to appear in Town of Castile Court at a later date.

Klein’s next scheduled court appearance remains March 17 in Town of Sheldon Court, where the burglary and criminal contempt charges will be formally addressed.
