The addiction of drugs can cause major problems in families. One of those problems unfolded several days ago in Murfreesboro.

The parents of a 22 year old called the police after their home was burglarized. The 22 year old son later admitted to his parents that he was the one who broke into his family's home stealing golf clubs that he sold to a sports store and a laptop computer that he sold to a computer store.

After the young man admitted to the theft, he went to the Murfreesboro Police Department and turned himself in. The homeless man was charged with aggravated burglary because he broke out windows to gain entry into his parents' house. He was also charged with vandalism and theft.

The young adult told police that he stole and later sold the items to purchase narcotics in nearby Anticoh.
