Sheriff William Lee said a property owned by Dean Rone in the Ethel area was broken into on Sunday, April 26, and three were charged with burglary.
Jermaine Alston, 28, Michael Barksdale, 25, and Michael D. Brown, 34, were all charged with the crime.

Lee said Alston and Barksdale are in the custody of Holmes County law enforcement on drug charges.
