Two people are in custody after the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department linked them to crimes in Alabama and Tennessee.

The department arrested Henry Dwayne Thompson and Teresa Baker Tuesday after a brief foot chase.

According to authorities both are suspected in numerous thefts in Madison County, Alabama and Giles and Lincoln counties in Tennessee.

Authorities said the pair avoided capture by darting between counties and state lines. The two are suspected of stealing trailers, campers, and vehicles from all three counties. All have been recovered in Lincoln County.

Both are being held without bond, and more charges are expected to be filed.
