DUDLEY — A Dudley man was arrested on an out-of-agency warrant on Nov. 12, 2025, after he was taken into custody on West Main Street in connection with a pending larceny case originating in Webster.
According to the Statement of Facts in Support of Application for Criminal Complaint, authored by Officer Patrick Trainor of the Webster Police Department, the charge stems from an incident reported on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024, at the Webster First Credit Union at 41 East Main Street.
Officer Trainor said that he was dispatched to the Webster Police Department lobby at approximately 11:24 a.m. on the aforementioned date to speak with a man named Glenn, who reported that his tool bag and tools had been stolen while he was working at the credit union.
“While speaking with [Glenn], he advised he had left one tool bag and tools outside at the rear of the building when he went inside the business conducting his work,” Officer Trainor said. “Upon returning outside, [Glenn] observed his tools to be missing. [Glenn] subsequently notified a bank employee to advise them what had occurred. He then came to the Webster Police Department to report the stolen property.”
The stolen items were described as an open-top blue Hercules brand tool carrier containing a Milwaukee drill, a computer valued at several thousand dollars, and additional tools estimated to be worth approximately $500, according to Officer Trainor’s Statement of Facts.
Officer Trainor later responded to the Webster First Credit Union and spoke with the Assistant Bank Manager Kimberly Williamson.
“Kimberly advised she could not view the actual footage of the larceny, however her manager (who was not present), sent her some screenshots of the potential suspect’s vehicle,” Officer Trainor said. “I was able to observe the screenshots, which showed a red Chevrolet Cruz bearing MA Reg: [# redacted], operated by a Caucasian, male party.”
Officer Trainor said he was unable to identify the driver of the Chevrolet from the screenshots.
“Kimberly stated she had seen the actual video, and observed the aforementioned vehicle drive towards the drive-up banking window before stopping and backing up to where [Glenn’s] tools were,” Officer Trainor said. “Due to a drainage pipe on the exterior of the bank blocking a partial area of the camera view, she stated it was difficult to observe anyone exit the vehicle and physically take the tools.”
After speaking with Williamson and obtaining a potential suspect’s license plate number from the screenshots, Officer Trainor said he was granted permission by Sergeant Joseph Reed to check the Dudley address, [# redacted] Laprise Court, associated with the registration.
“Upon my arrival at [# redacted] Laprise Court, I observed the aforementioned vehicle parked in the driveway, off, and unoccupied,” Officer Trainor said. “I looked inside of the vehicle as I walked by and observed a tool carrier and tools resembling the ones described to me by [Glenn] on the rear driver’s side seat.”
Officer Trainor said he knocked on the door in an attempt to make contact with someone in the residence, at which point a woman answered the door.
“I asked her if anyone had driven the red sedan parked in the driveway earlier that day, to which she stated, ‘My husband,'” Officer Trainor said. “I asked who her husband was, to which she stated, ‘Richard Rumrill.’ I requested to speak with Mr. Rumrill after she stated he was currently home.”
According to police, Richard R. Rumrill Jr., 45, is a resident of Laprise Court in Dudley, MA.
“Upon coming to the door, I asked Mr. Rumrill if he was at the bank earlier, and he replied, ‘Yes,'” Officer Trainor said. “I subsequently asked Mr. Rumrill to unlock the vehicle so I could retrieve the stolen tools from it. Mr. Rumrill responded with, ‘Okay, not a problem. I just seen them there and there was nobody around, so.'”
Officer Trainor said Rumrill went inside to retrieve the keys before unlocking the vehicle and removing the tool carrier and tools.
“Mr. Rumrill stated he did not take any items from the tool carrier, and everything was there,” Officer Trainor said. “I took possession of the tool carrier and tools and transported them back to the Webster Police Department. While en route back to the station, I requested dispatch call [Glenn] back to advise his tools had been retrieved, and that he could come to the Webster Police Department to take possession of them.”
Glenn stated that he would have someone from his company retrieve the tools, as he was no longer in the area.
“Spencer [last name redacted] came to the Webster Police Department during the evening shift to take possession of [Glenn’s] tools, and advised Sergeant [Robert] Larochelle all the items missing appeared to be in the tool carrier still.”
Officer Trainor stated that he later received a copy of the security camera footage of the incident from the vice president of branch administration at the Webster First Credit Union. “This disk was entered as evidence and will be available for the court,” Officer Trainor added.
Officer Trainor requested that Richard Rumrill be summonsed to court for the following charge:
- Larceny Under $1,200
Rumrill was arraigned in Dudley District Court on Jan. 30, 2025. Following his arraignment, he was released on personal recognizance. He then attended a pretrial hearing on March 28, 2025, and a compliance and election hearing on May 22, 2025. Rumrill, however, failed to appear for a continuance of the compliance and election hearing scheduled for July 10, 2025, and a default warrant was issued for his arrest. The default warrant was recalled on July 15, 2025, when a dispute resolution hearing was held.
Rumrill then attended a continuance of the compliance and election hearing on Aug. 28, 2025. Rumrill then failed to appear for a bench trial hearing scheduled for Oct. 21, 2025, and another default warrant was issued for his arrest. Rumrill was arrested for the default warrant on Nov. 12, 2025, and he attended a dispute resolution hearing the following day in Dudley District Court, during which the warrant was recalled.
Rumrill’s next court date was a compliance and election hearing scheduled for Dec. 18, 2025.
Disclaimer: If you are wondering why this story references an October 2024 incident, it is because the arrest reported here stems from a default warrant executed in November 2025, records for which were obtained through a public records request.
