Timothy Christopher Phillips, 33, was arrested this week and charged with two counts each of aggravated burglary and theft over $1,000 after Bradley County Sheriff’s Office investigators recovered thousands of dollars in stolen property at his Cleveland home, said sheriff’s spokesman Bob Gault.
Phillips is in custody at the Bradley County Jail on a $275,000 bond.
The property was traced to a string of break-ins from Charleston, Tenn., to Cleveland that were taking place since early December, he said.
A break in the case came after a Nintendo console that Phillips sold to a gaming shop showed up as stolen when employees ran its serial number, Gault said.
