$75,000 bonds were set Wednesday for two men accused of breaking into a house twice and taking several items.
Pine Bluff District Judge John Kearney set the bonds after ruling prosecutors have probable cause to charge Clan Stalworth, 38, and Steven Austin, 20, with three counts of breaking or entering, theft of property and theft of scrap metal.
Reading from an affidavit by Detective Mike Merritt, Deputy Prosecutor Joe West said at about noon Monday, police were sent to 13th and Oakwood Road in response to a reported burglary.
Merritt reported that Stalworth and Austin went back on Monday and were arrested. Stalworth also reportedly admitted the two stole copper pipes and several water heaters. Austin did not give a statement.
Stalworth and Austin were told to come back to court Feb. 7.
