left his residence for a couple hours and upon returning home he discovered

that someone broke the back window. The suspects stole two loaded rifles and

attempted to sell the rifles to three different people. The investigation revealed

that Doekhi did sell a rifle to a person for $30.00. The manhunt began and the

deputies located Doekhi in a vehicle with Kenneth Cowart on Saturday, March

he lied about his involvement. Through the interview Doekhi stated that he

stole the cash the previous day and used the money to buy marijuana, gas, food and went to

Orlando and spent the remaining money on a prostitute. Doekhi did admit to breaking into

the victim s home and stealing the rifles. Upon interviewing Cowart he also lied about his

involvement but later confessed to entering the residence and stealing the rifles.

stolen property. Cowart was arrested for armed burglary and grand theft.
