Bradley Teens Charged In Burglary

Bradley County deputies say three teenagers went back to a house they used to live in and stole jewelry from the current residents.

Investigators say the incident happened July 23rd at a home on Homestead Circle.

Police said when they arrived, they found damage throughout the house and several personal items destroyed.

In the bedroom, officers also found a bottle resembling a Molotov cocktail. The bottle had a liquid that investigators said smelled like paint thinner or PVC pipe cleaner. A cloth rag was stuffed into the bottle’s neck, officers said.

On Wednesday, police arrested 19-year-old Jordan B. Dove, 19-year-old Aarron Chayse McElfresh Jr., and 18-year-old William Scott Cassoday. They were charged with aggravated burglary, having a prohibited weapon, and attempted arson, which investigators say are all felonies.

Investigators said the three used to live in the home.

The trio were being held in the Bradley County jail without bond.
