Landlord charged with stealing from tenant

When a tenant failed to pay the rent on his camper, the landlord apparently tried to take it in trade. Polce arrested 48-year-old Dennis Barbour on a felony burglary charge. He pleaded not guilty Monday. State police said Barbour broke in while the tenant was out and stole entertainment equipment and power tools, then sold the items. Barbour reportedly told police he also stole the tenant's truck tires previously. He faces up to 16 years in jail if convicted.
