Prentiss County Deputies and Investigators were called to investigate the burglary of a Frankstown Business early Monday morning. Investigators acted quickly and took two suspects into custody shortly after receiving the report. The suspects were charged with burglary and larceny of a commercial building and their bonds have been set at $10,000 each. Both remain in custody at this time. Arrested were Steven Earnest Coulter age 51 of #4 CR 7450 Booneville and Jason Dewayne Cole age 24 of 4 CR 7450 Booneville. It turned out that the burglary had occurred over the previous weekend and wasn't discovered until Monday morning. A variety of items were taken in the burglary mostly tools, watches and other misc. items. Much of which has been recovered after diligent efforts on the part of our investigators. Sammy Henderson and Roy Ragin did a great job in taking the initiative and following up on every lead working almost nonstop.

Investigators are still investigating the burglary the previous week of another business very near by, in which numerous pairs of new boots and footwear were stolen. We are trying to determine any connection between the two burglaries. If anyone has any information concerning the burglaries and/or possibly may have bought some new boots still in the box recently, please contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-773-TIPS (8477)to receive a possible reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible or the Prentiss County Sheriff's Office at 728-6232- Investigators Sammy Henderson or Roy Ragin.
