Officers then spoke with the female who allowed them into the residence. They asked her to look for clothing in the residence that didn’t belong to her. The female discovered clothing under the bathroom sink. The clothing matched the description of the items stolen from Big R.

Davies was booked in the Kosciusko County Jail on July 10, with a $10,500 surety and cash bond.
