Remekieo Henderson-Hall Jr. and Ronnie Jones, both 23-years-old, and 32-year-old Matthew Hinkle all entered not guilty pleas to theft of property charges.

Hinkle listed an address in Cedar Hill, Texas, while Henderson-Hall and Jones listed addresses in Michigan.

They were ordered to reappear early next month.

Home Depot corporate security staff reported monitoring the three men as they went from store to store.

They were seen on surveillance cameras at two of the chain’s locations in Missouri and two in Arkansas.

Mountain Home police were called to respond to a theft report at the store on Pendella Drive about 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 14.

The men were located in their vehicle on the nearby Lowe’s parking lot and taken into custody.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Jones first said he purchased the items for cash. He then switched stories and admitted he used the fraudulent credit card to buy the items.

He said he had been given cash back for the stolen items.

Hinkle and Henderson-Hall refused to talk, according to police.

The three men are all free on bond.
