Flea market booth vendor charged with possessing stolen items

A vendor at Ardmore’s Dog Days Flea Market didn’t finish out his day quite as planned Sunday when the goods he offered for sale netted his arrest instead of the tidy profit he might have anticipated.

Tommy Edward Cahall, 29, of Durham Drive, Athens, is charged with receiving stolen property and burglary after a Limestone Sheriff’s investigator visited Dog Days in search of items recently reported stolen.

Sheriff Mike Blakely said Cahall was peddling items stolen last week from property owned by Lindsey Burgreen.

“Lindsey Burgreen’s got a pond they go water skiing on and there’s a storage building out there where they keep ski equipment,” Blakely said. “About three weeks ago some of that equipment was stolen. Last week we found some of that stuff for sale on the Internet.”

The items were offered for sale from an individual in Tennessee, Blakely said.

“The guy said he’d bought it all at Dog Days,” he said. “Then there was another theft from the same place last week where some laser levels, drills and skis and the like were taken. An investigator went to Dog Days Sunday and that’s where Tommy Cahall had set up shop.”

Blakely said the man who offered the stolen items for sale on the Internet was apparently unaware the merchandise was stolen. He said no charges will be filed against that individual. On Monday, Cahall remained in the Limestone County Jail in lieu of $5,000 bail on each count.
