Philip B. Royster Case
On Tuesday, 01/03/207, at 1442 hours, I, Deputy Stacy Stark #1815 was dispatched to take a telephone report for a theft. I spoke to the victim, Philip B. Royster (M/W, DOB: 05/04/1961). Royster stated someone stole numerous tools from his shop trailers parked on Boat Dock Rd. I requested to meet Royster in person at the location to take the report, he agreed.
I left the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and drove to Boat Dock Rd, Pomona, Jackson County, Illinois. I located Royster at the Abbey Ridge Brewery, 24 Brewster Valley Alto Pass, Illinois. Royster stated his trailers were parked across the road in a muddy area. Royster drove him and me across the road to the scene in his utility vehicle. The area across the street was owned by the Abbey Ridge Brewery. Royster was building a structure on the property for the Abbey Ridge Brewery. On the property there was the beginning of a structure surrounded by gravel and dirt, parked vehicles, large pile of scrap metal, a smoker, a pile of brush, some type of tractor implement, and Royster’s three box trailers.

The tools are not business owned. Royster stated the tools have been collected throughout his years. Royster stated he contacted his insurance company that morning about the stolen tools and the insurance company denied coverage.
Royster did not suspect any specific person, but believed it was someone who knew he had his tools stored on the Abbey Ridge Brewery property. In Royster’s opinion, he believed it was someone who knew him because particular items were taken, when so many other tools could have been taken. Royster stated none of his concrete construction tools were missing. Royster stated the tools that were taken, were tools that were easily grabbed and not large heavy weight tools.
