The Laurel County Sheriff’s Office says that two men were arrested early Wednesday morning after a burglary.
Deputies say they received a complaint from a home off Farley Road near East Bernstadt after a heavy-duty cast iron stove was taken from the home. There were also reports of damage done to the home as a result of the burglary.
Officials learned that a suspect had apparently left in a white Chevrolet Cavalier headed towards Gamecock Road several miles away.
A short time later a deputy spotted the car and conducted a traffic stop.
The deputy conducting the stop noted detecting a “strong odor” from the driver which he believed to be from alcohol. Additionally, an unrestrained juvenile was sitting in the front passenger seat.
The driver, 40-year-old Jamie Allen Hoskins, was found to be under the influence.
Then a 911 call from an address on Littontown Road led to the discovery of the missing stove. Jamie’s brother, 35-year-old Shannon Hoskins, was then also arrested.
The two were arrested and charged with burglary and second-degree criminal mischief. Jamie Hoskins was also charged with a DUI and failure to use a child restraint.
Both are being held in the Laurel County Correctional Center
