The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office says a Mississippi man and a Louisiana teenager broke into a dirt pit near Covington and caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage to equipment.

"The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office learned that Riley Authement (DOS 1/11/1997) of D'Iberville, Mississippi, and a 17-year-old family member from Covington had entered the dirt pit property on an ATV at some point during the night prior, damaged the property by digging holes and caused more than $10,000 worth of damage to a tractor and more than $30,000 worth of damage to an excavator," the sheriff's office said in a statement.


The break-in was discovered Sept. 28. Following an investigation, authorities secured arrest warrants this week for Authement and the 17-year-old juvenile. Louisiana authorities arrested the 17-year-old after a traffic stop yesterday, and Jackson County, Mississippi authorities arrested Authement yesterday at his residence.
