Two Canton men have been arrested in connection with thefts from a cemetery and a youth baseball concession stand.
Arnold Fricks was arrested on Monday and Dustin Chastain was arrested on Tuesday, said Lt. Jay Baker, spokesman for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office.
Accused of stealing eight brass vases from the Macedonia Memorial Park Cemetery between May 13 and May 17, Fricks, 23, was charged with felony theft by taking and burglary.
During that same time frame, he allegedly entererd the Macedonia baseball concession stand and stole baseball equipment, apparel, an iPod docking station and a first aid kit.
Authorities found some of the items at Chastain's home, Baker said. Chastain, 17, was charged with two counts of felony theft by receiving stolen property.

Judge not lest you be judged. People make mistakes god can forgive him and so can everyone else. Remember Jesus helped the sinners not the saved.

I'll judge them and I won't forgive them.. Stealing from kids and the dead, lock these cowards up and throw away the key.
