On Wednesday afternoon, the Troup County Sheriff’s Office responded to a burglary in progress call at Highland Pines Resort and Marina.

According to TCSO, two individuals identified as Taylor Pilgrim, 32, and Matthew Thompson, 29, had broken into one of the resort’s cabins and had locked themselves inside. 

“When officers arrived, the two individuals fled on foot into the woods,” said Sgt. Stewart Smith, TCSO public information officer. “Officers later found them that night on Roanoke Road.” 

Smith said it was unclear if anything was taken. 

Thompson is being held on a $12,000 bond and charged with burglary and three charges of returned by bondsman. Pilgrim is being held on a $10,000 bond and a burglary charge and two charges of returned by bondsman.
