The Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a man in connection with the theft of several items from the home of a couple who recently died.

Steven James Pickering, 36, faces two counts of first degree property theft, two counts of third degree burglary, second degree theft, first degree criminal mischief and fourth degree property theft.

According to the sheriff’s office, a home on Arnold Lane in the Petersville community, owned by a couple who had recently died, was broken into several times between June 14 and 18.

On June 20, investigators and deputies executed a search warrant at Pickering’s residence when he was not there.

A boat, an ATV, tools, electronics, and other items were recovered. Still missing, however, were other items reported stolen – a small ATV, two kayaks, a welder, and collectible Cabbage Patch dolls in their original packaging.

Pickering was arrested on Saturday, according to the sheriff’s office.
