Ellis Stevenson
Police have charged 19-year-old Ellis Stevenson with stealing TVs and watches from a house that had just burned.
Stevenson, of 4512 Midland Pike, was charged with aggravated burglary, theft of property and vandalism.
A juvenile was also arrested.
Police said in the incident on Sunday around 11 a.m. that the pair forced their way into the residence on Kemp Drive that had burned several hours earlier.
They took two flat screen TVs and several wrist watches.
As Stevenson was carrying off one of the TVs, a witness who knew Stevenson confronted him and the juvenile near some woods.
Stevenson dropped the TV and ran off.
Police located Stevenson at his house and found he was still wearing the same pants that smelled strongly of the burned house and still had burnt debris all over them.
