Two Gary men have been charged with burglary, residential entry and theft after the homeowner saw his former tenant outside the home and another man holding a bag.
The former tenant, Corey Barrett, 33, is in custody at the Lake County Jail, being held on $40,000 bail. Deangelo Rock, 20, is wanted on an arrest warrant. Both defendants live in Glen Park.
Homeowner David Stamps told Detective Gregory Nanney that Barrett lived with him for a while, but he asked him to leave after Stamps became concerned about Barrett’s actions involving drugs and guns, the probable cause affidavit states. Barrett became angry when Stamps told him to move, the affidavit states.
On March 3, Stamps told police he left home to run errands and saw Barrett and Rock at a house down the block. When he returned about two hours later, Barrett was walking out the side door of his home and Rock had a bag outside the home, the affidavit states.
Stamps discovered a window had been broken and a video game system, cologne and Jordan house slippers were missing.
