FAIRVIEW TWP — An alleged home invasion last week has landed four defendants in the Butler County Prison — each on six-figure bail.

Two of those jailed have been identified as the victims in the armed break-in at the home on the 300 block of Petrolia Road.

Troopers called to the house to investigate that crime Thursday stumbled upon another one, authorities said.

Investigators believe the occupants — Savannah M. Blust, 24, and her boyfriend, Macklin C. Haye, 24 — were selling marijuana and THC wax, which they were making in the house.

Troopers seized about two pounds of processed marijuana as well as psychedelic mushroom and an assortment of drug contraband.

But that's not all. Hardly.

Officers confiscated $67,928 in currency — the suspected proceeds in their alleged drug enterprise.

Haye and Blust are in the county prison on $100,000 bail each.

Behind bars with them, also on $100,000 bail each, are Patrick C. Bookwalter, 35, of Brady Township, Clarion County; and Joseph R. Painter, 34, of Kittanning.Police suspect Bookwalter and Painter along with Michael Lee Bure, 36, of Kittanning targeted the couple for the money.

Despite Bookwalter allegedly being armed with pepper spray and a handgun, investigators said, Blust turned the tables on Bookwalter when she repeatedly stabbed him with a butcher knife while defending her boyfriend.

Bookwalter was the first person charged in the incident. From his hospital room at UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh, court documents said, he gave investigators a detailed confession while implicating his alleged accomplices.

Bookwalter claimed Painter was “responsible for planning and recruiting him for the robbery,” according to a police affidavit. He didn't know the name of the other accomplice, later identified as Bure.
