Deputies responded and arrested 26-year-old Kevin Defilieppo of Modesto. He was in possession of prescription medication that he allegedly stole from the home. Deputies then surrounded the home and also eventually located 28-year-old Chantell Barnett of Mokelumne Hill and 28-year-old Sarah Rosas of San Andreas. It was later discovered that the suspects had been staying at the home while it was unoccupied, and moved the furniture around and decorated it for Christmas. All three were booked into Calaveras County Jail on burglary charges. Rosas also had a felony warrant out of Tuolumne County.
