Three suspects, currently out on bail for other crimes, were arrested Thursday after they were detained by an Autryville resident when he discovered them on his property.

At approximately 6:50 a.m., Sampson County Sheriff's officers responded to a call regarding a suspicious vehicle on private property in Autryville.

A search warrant was executed for the suspect's vehicle. Officers reportedly found several firearms, drug paraphernalia (a small glass pipe), and two catalytic converters.

All three suspects were charged with possession of a catalytic converter removed from a motor vehicle, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia and second-degree criminal trespass. Burnette was also charged with possession of firearms as a felon.

The sheriff's report also indicated that all three men were out on bail due to previous arrests and the judge had ordered them held without bail this time.
