Last week a Kellyton man was arrested on burglary- and theft-related charges from a storage unit facility, with a second suspect being identified in the same case.
Chief Deputy Scott Hammond reported that on February 13 the Sheriff’s Office took a report for burglary and theft in the Kellyton area at Adding Space Storage.
Investigators Middlebrooks, Ward and Hodge and Deputy Payton were involved in the follow-up investigation. They reviewed camera footage and observed that a vehicle was caught on camera, with the suspect seen in the vehicle entering the facility.
After reviewing the video footage, law enforcement officers determined that they had seen the vehicle in Kellyton at another point in time.
On February 23, officers went to a Kellyton residence and identified the car outside the residence as being the one seen entering the storage facility. They proceeded to make contact with the individuals inside the residence and identified two suspects at that time.
On February 23, 31-year-old Calvin Andrew Skinner of Kellyton was arrested and charged with third-degree burglary, first-degree theft of property and possession of burglary tools.
The other suspect in the case is still being investigated.
Skinner’s bond was set at $20,000 for all three charges. As of press time he remained in custody at the Coosa County Jail awaiting trial.
Anyone who suspects or observes illegal activity is encouraged to report it to the Sheriff’s Office at 256-377-4922 or online at www.coosacountyso.org. Anonymous tips are also welcome.
