Two men charged with stealing three Salvation Army kettles made their initial appearances before a judge Friday.
21-year-old Jeremy Baker of Northport, Ala., and 25-year-old Jonathan Vance of Meridian are charged with three counts of larceny and one count of third degree arson.
The two were arrested Thursday night at a residence at 27th Street and 33rd Avenue. area.
"We already had an identity on the suspect. We were just doing a little background information and we had already started to stake out several of the residences that he was known to visit," said Lt. James Sharpe of the Meridian Police Department.
Sharpe said Baker and Vance have confessed to being involved in at least two of the kettle thefts.
Sharpe said police were able to recover about $200 of the stolen money, and the kettle and stand taken Thursday night, which had been burned.
Bond for the suspects has been set at $5,000 each. Police expect to present the case to the next grand jury in March 2009.

johnathan also burnt down the bailey store..when will he grow up?!
Sheila probly never even gave to the SA she only takes handouts and never gives hooray for obama please he aint gonna take care of yall the only reason he is where he is today is because the white side of his family raised him. These two clowns should be punished and made to ring the bell from now own with a sign that said they are the kettle theives and they should see some jail time they are pathetic to do something of this nature
Let me just let all of you know that I know Jonathan very well. Have known him since kindergarten. And he has continually done things of this nature since the ninth grade. He thinks everything is a joke and yields to no authority. I have gotten him enrolled back in college this semester and let him borrow my books and then he does this. It truly is a slap in the face to me who has tried to help him out and I have continually told him that these behaviors were stupid and no one thinks they are "cool" or funny. I personally hate that kind of behavior and truly think they should throw the book at him this time. I truly tried to help him out. And just to let the public know, Jonathan will probably serve time in Prison this time because he just got a DUI a couple of weeks ago and also has prior shoplifting convictions. So, maybe that makes some of you feel a little better. And YAY to the one who told Sheila a little about real life.
