Some of the alleged stolen items that were recovered.
On Wednesday (August 17, 2016) Coffee County sheriff’s department personnel were looking for two suspects wanted for a string of burglaries, thefts, and forgeries. The duo were reported to be in a red van.
Wednesday morning Investigator James Sherrill received a call from Investigator Jason Dendy saying that one of subjects was at a Manchester business. By the time authorities arrived they were advised that the subject had left. A search of the area was conducted with no luck finding the vehicle they were in.
Around 1:00 pm Sherrill and Deputy Brandon Reed were traveling on Hillsboro Hwy and observed the subjects in the red/maroon van turn onto N. Woodland Street in Manchester, traveling toward the Woodbury Hwy. The vehicle then turned onto Monogaurd Dr where Sherrill initiated his emergency lights. The vehicle pulled over to the side of the roadway, where a felony stop was conducted. Upon approaching the driver’s side door Sherrill noticed an AR rifle by the passenger and Deputy Reed advising that he also had seen the rifle. Both subjects were extracted from the vehicle and placed into custody. Upon just looking in the vehicle in plain view, sheriff department personnel observed items from a burglary at 7161 Hillsboro Hwy that occurred the previous night. Sherrill said he recognized the items after speaking with one of the complainants on the phone and Deputy Jeremy David coming to the traffic stop with a list of the items.
Jamie Leann Brazelton age 37 of South C St. Hillsboro and David Binkley Cash age 30 of Chestnut Court Winchester were transported to the Coffee County Jail.
A hold was also placed for Bedford County due to burglaries that have occurred there.
More items recovered
Investigator Dendy, Investigator Kerry Farrar, and Deputy Reed unloaded the van and contacted victims that they could identify to come pick up their items. Most of the items stolen from the Hillsboro Hwy burglary were still in the vehicle.
Both were charged with; conspiracy to commit, burglary of a motor vehicle and theft of property. Bonds were set at $55,000 each. Cash is set to appear in court August 25 and Brazelton is to appear September 15. Other charges will be forthcoming pending grand jury indictments.
Coffee County investigators collected more items from an undisclosed location in Hillsboro on Thursday. These items could possibly link the two individuals to other thefts.
