A Georgia man, Terrell Williams, has been charged with burglarizing the home of former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle after learning Biffle and his family died in a plane crash, according to North Carolina Sheriff Darren Campbell. Williams, 44, faces charges including second-degree burglary, safe cracking, money laundering, and other felonies.

He was being held without bond in Cobb County, Georgia, and is also suspected in another burglary while an officer was in the hospital. The plane crash, which occurred on December 18, claimed the lives of Biffle, his wife, their two children, and three others, and is still under investigation by the NTSB. In January, a break-in at Biffle's home was reported, resulting in the theft of $30,000 in cash, two Glock handguns, NASCAR memorabilia, and gold and silver coins.

Investigators claim they recovered some of the stolen items, including NASCAR memorabilia, and found a radio-frequency detector believed to have been used by Williams during the burglary to locate security cameras.
