One of three men who admitted beating rare birds to death at Popcorn Park Zoo in Lacey is under arrest again, charged with an April 30 home burglary in Berkeley Township. Twenty-four-year-old Matthew Ronneberg was apprehended without incident Thursday near noon time at a business in his hometown.
Berkeley Police Sergeant James Smith says that Ronneberg was the subject of a $75,000warrant the day of the incident. Authorities believe he acted alone.
"He was scared out of the house by a homeowner when she returned home," says Smith. "He left some personal items at the scene." The woman told police she was missing several items including a jar of change and a camera.
Ronneberg was placed in Ocean County Jail in default of $75,000 bail. He was indicted last month on a drug charge filed in Stafford. He completed his sentence for the 2003 bird killings in early 2008.
