A thirty-two-year-old LaFayette man was indicted by the Chattooga County Grand Jury in connection with a wire-theft on Commerce Street in Summerville that happened in October of last year.

WZQZ News reported at the time that Tracy Alan Maples told Summerville Police officers at the time of his arrest, that he had picked up twenty-four-year-old Kirby Mackenzie Reed and the two went to the old Mexican restaurant on Commerce Street that Larry Wilson uses for his electrical business.  Maples said that Reed forced the door open and they took the wiring.

Maples said that Reed was supposed to give him $40 he needed for gas and insulin for helping to “pilfer” the wiring.

Maples was charged with burglary, criminal trespass, and theft by taking regulated metals.
