Kit Thompson was not expecting to find two grown men in his bed after he returned home from a five-day trip. "I don't even want to get in the bed. I would rather set it on fire than ever use it again," he told ABC Action News.
18-year-old Jaquel Fleming and 23-year-old Keilow Roundtree are back in jail after they broke into Thompson's Lakeland, Florida home while he was away at his mother's. The two admitted they did so because they wanted to "party and smoke weed in celebration of Fleming's recent release from jail." Other than finding the two convicted felons in his bedroom, Thompson reported he came home to find holes in his walls from a hammer, doors knocked off their hinges and paint splattered along the carpet and walls. "I am amazed on how much damage is done in this one room. I think there was definitely more than four or five people at a time here," said Thompson.
"I walked in 6 or 8 steps, took a look to my left, and there's two guys sleeping in my bed," he continued. "So, I promptly turned right around walked out the door and called 911." The two criminals jumped out of the master bedroom window after the K-9 unit was released into the home.
Fleming and Roundtree have 14 prior arrests combined for carrying a concealed firearm, resisting arrest and possession amongst other felony charges. Now after serving 220 days for burglary, grand theft, possession of marijuana, Fleming is back behind bars for burglary, grand theft, criminal mischief and another count of resisting arrest to his criminal history. Roundtree was also subjected to the same charges.
