Monterey, Tennessee — Jackie
Lynn Adams, 19, was charged with
burglary recently after he allegedly
broke into a home and stole a VCR.

To build his nerves, Adams had

process. The house he finally chose

one, then had to have it fixed to
make it ready for sale. Thus, the
chief got his VCR back in better
shape than it was when stolen.
