  • Burglary in the first degree
  • Seven counts of financial transaction card fraud
  • One count of identity fraud
  • One count of entering auto

Also arrested were 19-year-old Tyler Hardy and 18-year-old Gabrielle Crosby.

Hardy is being charged with one count of identity fraud, one count of financial transaction card fraud and one count of burglary in the first degree, stemming from the burglary at a Bonaire home last week.

Crosby is being held in Tennessee on three counts of theft by receiving stolen property and two counts of hindering the apprehension of a criminal.
