Graves County Sheriff Dewayne Redmon says the burglary took place early Friday morning at an unoccupied home. According to deputies, forced entry was made through the back door of the home.
The investigation led law enforcement to a Mayfield hotel where police made contact with 35-year-old Michelle Kennedy of Clinton. Inside the hotel room, deputies reportedly found several items that had been stolen from the victim's home. Deputies said Kennedy was also in possession of a handgun when the crime was committed.
Kennedy was placed under arrest and charged with 1st degree burglary. She was lodged in the Graves County Jail.
