A Vigo County Sheriff's Office burglary investigation landed two Terre Haute suspects in jail on multiple charges this week.

Booked into the Vigo County Jail Wednesday evening: 

• Chelsie W. Neese, 29. She is charged with violation of local travel advisory, possession of syringe, burglary, residential entry, conversion, resisting law enforcement and possession of meth.

 

• Mattie L. King, Jr., 46. He is charged with violation of local travel advisory, burglary, residential entry and possession of syringe or needle.

According to the probable cause affidavit, filed by Jerrad Pirtle, of the VCSO, the deputy was dispatched to a southern Vigo County residence on a report of a security alarm sounding. Upon his arrival, he observed the front door with broken glass.

The owner of the residence provided photos of the suspect vehicle - -an older model Chevrolet pickup truck with driver side damage. Another deputy reportedly spotted the suspect vehicle at a local convenience store, located on S. US 41 and Harlan Drive,  a short time later.

According to the court documents, Neese  initially admitted to kicking in the door at the Louisville Road address, but denied taking anything. King was then questioned after being taken into custody and reportedly denied being at the residence. He stated he happened to have a flat tire in the area and did not go to the house.

Ultimately, as officers were going to do an inventory of the truck -- before it was impounded --  Neese allegedly changed her story and admitted to taking  a typewriter from the residence. Officers also found syringes in black bag in the backseat of the truck, along with several other items.

Neese reportedly stated the black bag didn't belong to her, but was recovered from a dumpster. King agreed, adding that they had been going through dumpsters "all day," according to the documents.
