mower, four wheeler, weed eater, leaf blower and other items later determined to have been stolen and not yet reported. The occupants of the vehicle – Triston Byron Siggers and Eric Rashun Williamson, both of Memphis – were arrested and charged with the burglaries. Approximately $16,000 in stolen property was recovered. Siggers later admitted to his role in the burglaries. He is free on a $10,000 bond. Williamson is free on a $50,000 bond They are due in court on May 14. Last Thursday, four suspected burglars were caught in the act by the sheriff's office's second in command. Though off-duty at the time, Chief Billy Daugherty saw a suspicious vehicle at one of his neighbors' homes. Just like the Siggers and Williamson apprehension, the Pontiac Parisienne spotted on Brighton-Clopton Road was wanted in connection with a recent rash of burglaries. "Daugherty lives in Brighton and knew the vehicle didn't belong at the residence," Sheriff Pancho Chumley said. "It was a great piece of police work to catch these guys breaking into the home and making a quick capture."

All four were arrested and three admitted to throwing objects through windows and entering residences.
