Fayette County Sheriff Keith Korenek reports that on July 18, deputies took reports of a burglary at the Mullins Prairie Store and vandalism that occurred at the New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church.

Investigators continued working on the case and identified two more suspects. During the investigation, it was determined these individuals took part in two more crimes that had occurred in the Mullins Prairie area a few weeks prior.
Investigators received warrants for arrest on the three subjects, who all turned themselves into the Dan R. Beck Justice Center in La Grange on the morning of July 25.
Eagan Rivers,19, of La Grange, Cody Parks, 17, of La Grange, and Anthony Pate III, 18, of Dale were arrested.
They were each charged with Burglary of a Building and Criminal Mischief, both State Jail Felonies.
