A Knoxville man is facing multiple charges after a burglary and theft investigation that began in early June.
Police say a report was filed on June 1st about a burglary at a home on East Marion Street. Several items were taken from the property, and there were no immediate suspects. Nearly a month later, on June 26th, most of the stolen items were found at a trailer in the VanDonsler campground on North Lincoln Street—where Curtis Kane was living at the time.
Officers attempted to interview Kane at the Marion County Jail on July 1st, but he refused to provide any statements about the case. Investigators also noted evidence at the original scene suggesting an attempt to start a fire, including a burnt paper towel and used matches found on the garage floor.
Curtis Kane is now charged with Third-Degree Burglary (Class D Felony), Fourth-Degree Theft (Serious Misdemeanor), and Reckless Use of Fire (Serious Misdemeanor)
Kane is being held in the Marion County Jail
