NATCHEZ — A Natchez dentist has been indicted on charges he stole equipment from a neighboring dentist.

Brennan Thomas O’Brien, 35, 113 Overton Road, was booked in the Adams County Jail this week on an indictment for grand larceny. He was released on a $7,500 bond.

The indictment stems from a January 2015 incident, in which reports at the Adams County Sheriff’s Office indicate dentist Bruce Scarborough contacted deputies about a theft from his business.

Video surveillance at the business showed a man Scarborough identified as O’Brien wearing a pair of gloves going into procedure rooms and removing items, the report indicates.

Scarborough and O’Brien shared a building but had separate offices.

An indictment means the grand jury has reviewed allegations and decided the matter needs a deeper look with a full trial on a given charge.
