50 year old William Darrin Blevins,  of Fort Payne, was charged with third-degree burglary, first-degree theft of property, resisting arrest and attempting to elude. 26 year old Christopher Daniel Jones, of Fyffe, was charged with third-degree burglary, first-degree theft of property, resisting arrest, attempting to elude, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and third-degree promoting prison contraband.

Both were booked into the Cherokee County Detention Center. Investigators recovered the property stolen from the victim's residence.
