Neighbors informed Mason Tackett that his cousin Phillip Hagans had been seen carrying items out of his house, but the items weren't the typical targets of a would-be burglar.

"Who steals a cheese grater? He's got the works. Lysol – he stole the empty bottle of spray. What got me the most was my soap. He stole my soap. Who steals soap?" Tackett said.

"When I finally got down there to the house to look and see what happened, the door was standing wide open. It looked like he was packing up for a yard sale when he come out," he said.

The confrontation took a dangerous turn once Tackett found items belonging to him.

"He was lying, throwing his hands, saying stuff like, 'I didn't do it. I didn't do it.' You know, how rogues do and blame it on everybody else," Tackett said. "He did pull a gun on me when I got back around the house because I guess he thought I was upset with him."

"It's the most random assortment of things. It looked like he was getting ready to go to a pallet sale," he said. "Must have been a bad batch [of methamphetamine] around here 'cause Floyd County has gone crazy in the last four days."
