Childs said Navarre had stolen gun accessories and ammunition as well as a laptop computer from the residence during the burglaries.

Some of those items were recovered inside the vehicle after officers arrested Navarre, Childs said.

“During the inventory process of the vehicle we also discovered methamphetamines, marijuana, and oxycodone pills,” Childs said.

In addition to the burglary and drug charges, Childs said Navarre is also charged with stealing an assault rifle out of a vehicle on County Road 3336.

In all, Navarre is charged with three counts of third-degree burglary, one count of unlawful breaking and entering a motor vehicle, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance, all Class C Felonies. He was also charged with second-degree possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor.

The passenger in the vehicle, Jessica Jordan, 36, was charged with second-degree possession of marijuana as well.

Class C Felonies are punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Navarre was placed into the Pike County Jail and is being held on a $14,000 bond.
