HOLLOW ROCK, Tenn. — Four individuals have been charged in connection with a masked burglary at a Hollow Rock home on Friday, Nov. 6, according to court records filed by the Hollow Rock Police Department.
Those charged are Dontavious L. Fowler, 19, of Westport, with aggravated burglary and aggravated assault; Martez D. Teague, 18, of Huntingdon, and Owen S. King, 18, of Hollow Rock, each with aggravated burglary; and Kelton K. Johnson, 18, of Huntingdon, with accessory after the fact to aggravated burglary.
Warrants show all four were arrested Saturday, Nov. 7. Bail was set at $50,000 for each on the burglary and accessory charges, plus $15,000 on Fowler’s aggravated assault charge.
The affidavits of complaint by Hollow Rock Police Chief Tony King allege that Fowler, Teague, and King entered a home without the owner’s consent while wearing ski masks. A woman was inside at the time, and the affidavit says she got away and ran outside. A handgun, a watch, and some cash were reported taken.
According to Fowler’s affidavit, he told Chief King he retrieved a firearm from under a mattress because he feared what the woman in the home might do with it. The affidavit adds that Fowler admitted that he racked the firearm inside the residence.
The gun was later recovered at a residence in Bruceton.
Johnson’s affidavit alleges he drove the others to a location near the home and returned to pick them up a short time later. The vehicle was allegedly left off Highway 22 South in Huntingdon, where a female friend picked them up.
Their cases are set for Carroll County General Sessions Court on Thursday, Nov. 12.
The charges are allegations, and each man is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
