On Saturday July 21, 2007 at approximately 12:15 p.m., Troopers assigned to the State Police Barracks in Sturbridge responded to a report of an accosting and assault of an adult female who was jogging on Little Alum Road in Brimfield. The suspect has been identified as 54 year-old Robert R. Burno Jr. whose last known addresses were in West Springfield and Ware.
Preliminary investigation by Trooper David Matte indicates that the victim was jogging on Little Alum Road in Brimfield when she was allegedly approached by Burno, operating a black 1989 Plymouth Horizon hatchback.

Warrants for Burno's arrest have been issued out of the Palmer District Court charging him with:
- Annoying and Accosting
- Assault By Means of a Dangerous Weapon.
Anyone with information relative to this incident is asked to call the Massachusetts State Police Sturbridge Barracks at (508) 347-3352. This is all the information available at this time.
