ANDERSON — After being listed as one of Anderson’s most wanted criminals, Tony Hembree told a city court judge on Thursday that he knew nothing about it until his boss saw a television report.
Hembree, charged with second-degree burglary, turned himself in on Wednesday, he said.
On Thursday, Anderson Municipal Court Judge Ken Mattison ordered Hembree held under a $30,000 property bond for trial in Anderson County General Sessions Court.
According to information provided by the Anderson police, Hembree is accused of stealing copper pipes and copper wire from a refrigerator and air conditioning unit at 1624 Highland Drive.
The theft caused $2,500 in damage, police said.
“He did an extreme amount of damage to things that are irreplaceable,” said Leann Rumsey, who is executrix for her mother’s estate, which includes the house on Highland Drive.
