Three Fayetteville men are facing burglary charges after two break-ins and an attempted burglary at three homes in north Fayette County.
Eighteen-year-old Jeremiah Relaford, of Fayetteville, and 20-year-old Oliver Tucker, of Fayetteville, were both charged with two counts of burglary, one count of criminal attempt to commit burglary and one count of loitering/prowling, according to Sheriff Barry Babb.
Seventeen-year-old Quincy Crump, of Fayetteville, was charged with two counts of burglary and one count of criminal attempt to commit burglary, Babb said.
Babb said deputies were dispatched to a residence on White Tail Court off Westbridge Road near midnight on Jan. 29 in response to a burglary call.
The caller told the 911 operator that someone was attempting to kick-in the door at the residence, Babb said.
The dispatcher was told that three black males with dark clothing walked away from the residence once the exterior lights came on, said Babb.
Deputies arrived to find three black males walking on White Tail Court, Babb said.
“One of the suspects (Crump) fled on foot toward Westbridge Road. The other two suspects were detained at the location,” said Babb. “During the investigation it was determined that the suspects were involved in a burglary on Wagon Wheel Circle which had occurred earlier in the day.”
Crump, who fled on foot, was later taken into custody after deputies subsequently executed a search warrant at his residence.
Babb said crime scene investigators were able to match a shoe print to one of the suspects on White Tail Court.
“As investigators continued to work the incidents on White Tail Court and Wagon Wheel Circle they were able to connect yet another burglary attempt to the suspects which occurred on Jan. 28 on Covered Bridge Way,” said Babb.
Babb said the stolen items, which included firearms and a laptop computer, were recovered.
