A Reagan man and his stepfather have been charged in connection with an aggravated burglary and theft in Sardis last month and a Lexington man and two juveniles have also been charged in a separate theft case. According reports filed with the Henderson County Sheriff’s Department, Timothy L. Hamilton, 26, of Reagan and Steven J. Fireheart, 39, of Reagan, were arrested Sunday and charged with aggravated burglary and theft of property over $10,000 in connection with the Jan. 19 burglary of a Sardis residence. Henderson County Sheriff Brian Duke said Fireheart also was charged with unlawful carrying or possession of a weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia. Fireheart’s wife, Toni Fireheart, 49, of Reagan, also was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. According to the report, the victim reported the theft of a utility box trailer and the burglary of his residence on Jan 19. The trailer was being used to store several auction items. Cash, jewelry, a laptop computer and even food items were stolen from the home, the report states. Last week deputies confirmed the presence of the trailer after a possible match was located and later identified by the vehicle identification number. The report states that the victim contacted the sheriff’s department after spotting the trailer. When deputies questioned the owner of the residence where the trailer was found he informed them he had recently purchased the trailer from Hamilton. Deputies then went to Fireheart’s residence to question Hamilton. After deputies received consent to search the residence from Mrs. Fireheart, they were able to locate and recover several items stolen from the victim’s residence. Deputies also recovered four firearms in the residence, leading to the charges against Fireheart, a felon. In a separate case, Charles West, 23, of Lexington and two juveniles were charged with theft of property for attempting to steal farm equipment from a residence on Feb. 4. The defendants in both cases are scheduled for arraignment on Feb. 16 in Henderson County General Sessions Court.
