Christopher Franklin Keeton, 39, and Sharica Shunta Davis, 41, both of Rockmart, were arrested this week after reports said they were found inside a home on North Marble Road that had been totally destroyed by fire.

Reports stated that the home was ruled a total loss after a fire destroyed it last July.   

Police said that two suspects, Keeton and Davis, were at the home and said that they “knew they were not supposed to be there.” Officers said that they observed black soot on Keeton’s hands.  He proceeded to tell them that he went inside the home to “peek around”.

The owner of the home then told police that she wanted to press charges and that she did not know either Keeton or Davis.

Both charged with 1st degree burglary and criminal trespass.
