Sheriff deputies have arrested three Wilkes residents for stealing over 1-thousand dollars worth of items from another person. 27-year old Eric Randal Wyatt, 26 year old Emma Denise Perry, and 60-year old J-C Perry were charged with breaking into a garage owned by Brenda Johnson and stealing a number of items. Johnson called deputies a few days ago, saying she had actually confronted Wyatt in the act of stealing. He told her Mr. Perry had used bolt cutters to break the lock on Johnson's garage some time ago, and the three had been stealing items a few at a time. Stolen items included a John Deere Corn Planter, an Antique Cross-Cut Saw, A chain saw, a number of gardening tools., a willer, and antique pedal car, 50 antique bottles, some automotive tools, a pair of fender skirts for a 1955 Chevy, and a creeper. Most of the items had been sold; Wyatt did return the corn planter and cross-cut saw.
