COWETA COUNTY, Ga. - Authorities in Coweta County have charged a woman with first-degree burglary and criminal damage to property after what began as a domestic dispute escalated across two locations. Deputies say the case involves not only stolen property but also an unusual theft — a bearded dragon.

The backstory:

According to an arrest report, deputies were first called to a home on Kripple Kreek Drive in Sharpsburg. The ex-boyfriend’s father told officers that London Chandler had entered the home without permission. While he reported no damage to the property, he noted that one item was missing: a bearded dragon belonging to his son.

Bearded dragons, commonly known as "beardies," are typically friendly and docile reptiles. The stolen reptile was valued at $120.
