A homeowner on Harmony Lane in Arnold reported that $140 in cash and a gold necklace with a diamond pendant was stolen in a burglary. Entry was made into the home by prying a side door open.

Police canvassed the area and one neighbor said she saw another neighbor enter the side door of the home and didn't think anything about it since the man had been to that house before.

Police later found the man and arrested him for second-degree burglary. The man told police he did not commit the burglary. Charges are pending with the Jefferson County Prosecutor's Office.
