Brandon Shields, 33, and Kenneth Carroll, 38, were taken into custody on unrelated charges, according to a press release from BCSO. It was not clear what day they were arrested.
Shields is charged with three counts of burglary, two counts of theft over $2,500, theft over $1,000 and vandalism. And Carroll is charged with theft over $2,500, two counts of theft over $1,000 and felon possession of a handgun. He was released on a $20,000 bond.
Shields’ vehicle was recorded on surveillance cameras at several local business where property was stolen, according to the press release. A warrant granted for the search of his home on Aug. 4 led to the discovery of the property stolen from the businesses.

Chancellor Jerri S. Bryant ruled Monday against Commissioner Dan Rawls in a lawsuit that was filed against him by a Bradley County Sheriff’s Office deputy.
The lawsuit was filed in September 2013 by Steven McCullough, who claimed Rawls “charged for faulty and non-approved” work on his 1967 Camaro.
The case has gone back and forth over the last three years, with Rawls eventually filing a counter-suit against McCullough.
The case drew public attention in recent months when Sheriff Eric Watson noted McCullough was a deputy at the BCSO and claimed Rawls asked him to fire McCullough and his wife, who was also a deputy, after the suit was filed.
Rawls denied he ever asked for McCullough’s dismissal.
Bryant ordered Rawls to pay McCullough $3,915 for paint damage and $1,846.35 for the cost to fix the car.
Bryant noted McCullough had received estimates from $2,500 to $6,065 to achieve the 650 horsepower engine.
Bryant’s final total order was for Rawls to pay $9,761.35 to McCullough, plus attorney fees.
Rawls has the right to contest the decision with the state Court of Appeals.
