Authorities say a 64-year-old Dallas man is accused of staging a home invasion at his parents’ Natchitoches, La., home to cover his theft of coins and cash from a safe at the house.
Natchitoches Parish sheriff’s deputies say Burton Paul Dupuy III was arrested Monday and booked with felony theft, exploitation of the infirmed and criminal mischief by filing a false police report.
The Town Talk reports deputies say the case began on Nov. 13 when they received a report of an armed home invasion.
Dupuy claimed the men forced him to open his parents’ safe, where there were gold and silver coins valued at about $200,000 and $140,000 in cash.
Dupuy remains in jail. His bond is set at $301,000.
It was unclear whether Dupuy has an attorney.
