TIPTON COUNTY, Tenn. – Two Tipton County men have been arrested, accused of stealing 45 pounds of copper, about 14 vehicle batteries, an air conditioner unit, and toolbox – all from a landfill last month. With the help of surveillance video, Tipton County deputies arrested Tyler-Wayne Fleming, 21, and Stephen Duke, 22. Deputies said they were able to recover the air conditioner and tools, but learned the pair sold the copper and batteries to a local scrap yard. Both men have been charged with burglary, and theft of property. Investigators said Duke was also charged with burglary and theft of property for a similar theft at the same landfill back in April. He remains in jail on $10,000 bond.
