Hamilton County Sheriff’s investigators arrested an 18-year-old burglary suspect after they say he made plans to meet with buyers of stolen property he’d advertised on eBay.
Derek Baxter Terrell was arrested Wednesday upon meeting undercover sheriff’s investigators at a Hixson Pike restaurant, according to a sheriff’s release.
During a search of Mr. Terrell’s home, police found items taken in a Monday burglary, including a .38 caliber pistol, digital cameras, GPS devices and other items valued at $4,500, authorities said.
Mr. Terrell was booked into the Hamilton County Jail on charges of aggravated burglary, theft over $1,000 and burglary of an auto, the release said. Other charges are pending as the investigation continues.
