Bradley County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call on McClure Road Wednesday morning, and upon their arrival were told that two men had been seen loading up scrap metal from an unoccupied residence. The suspects were gone but left behind a pile of scrap aluminum and metal indicating they might return.
Approximately two hours later, a neighbor who lodged the first complaint contacted the 911 Communications Center to report the vehicle had returned. Patrol deputies responded and found the two men still there.
After investigation, Denny Allen White, 49, of Wynwood Drive, and David Orion Elrod, 53, of Old Fort, were arrested for two counts of burglary and one count of theft over $500.
White is also charged with simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
