One of the men also is the father of a 13-year-old boy who is charged with shooting a 15-year-old friend in Layton on July 8.

The burglary was discovered July 15, when a Layton police officer who lives in Kaysville discovered the passenger side window of his unmarked car was broken out.

Stolen were a 12-gauge shotgun, ammunition, a Taser gun with one cartridge, binoculars, a flashlight, leather gloves and a dark blue Layton police jacket, said Kaysville police Chief Dave Helquist.

The thief apparently removed the mounted rack inside the car in which the shotgun was stored.

Police believe the same shotgun was used in the Fruit Heights drive-by shooting that seriously injured 22-year-old Braden Larkin. He was treated at University Hospital then released.

"There's a pretty high probability it was used," said Helquist. A bullet and a flashlight found in a car belonging to Adam Cozart linked the two cases, Helquist said.

Cozart, 23, of Ogden, and Richard Ernest Willden, 36, of Layton, were arraigned Wednesday on charges including attempted criminal homicide and possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person.

Davis County Sheriff's Lt. Brad Wilcox said Willden is the father of a 13-year-old West Point boy arrested in connection with the shooting of 15-year-old John Mark MacPeek.

The 13-year-old - who shot MacPeek in the chest with a .357-caliber revolver during a game of Russian roulette - was charged with manslaughter in Farmington's 2nd District Juvenile Court. He is being held in the Farmington Bay Youth Correctional Facility.

The boy reportedly told police he found the revolver in a dresser drawer in his house.

Craig Gibson, Layton's assistant police chief, said the revolver belongs to Willden, who has a criminal record and may face a federal charge of possession of a gun by a restricted person. lrosetta@sltrib.com
