RICEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Investigators canvassing Riceville residents after vandalism at a cemetery and burglaries in the same neighborhood got an odd break. A burglary victim noticed that a passer-by being questioned was wearing his stolen pants and shoes.
WRCB-TV in Chattanooga reported McMinn County Detective Jerry Wilson said he was talking to burglary victim Jeff King in the rural East Tennessee community Monday when another officer stopped a man and a teenager who were walking by.
Wilson said 19-year-old William Henry and a juvenile have been charged with burglary and with felony vandalism in the cemetery damage.
King said his encounter with the man wearing his stolen clothes was "karma."
Dozens of headstones, some more than a century old, were toppled. Some were broken.
