Puett Arrested for Breaking and Entering
 
A Morganton man, featured several months ago as one of Burke County's "Ten Most Wanted" prior to his capture in November, is in trouble with the law again. 
 
Ricky Nelson Puett (right), 47, of 3005 Perkins Avenue was charged Tuesday with two counts of breaking and entering and larceny after an investigation which alleges he burglarized the home of Johnny Ellis Miller.

Miller, who lives at 1506 Goodman Lake Road, told Detective Aaron Carver that two outbuildings had been broken into and two shotguns, valued at $600, had been stolen.
 
Puett remains in jail under a $5,000 secured bond after a first court appearance on Thursday.
