Lening confessed to kicking in the back door of what turned out to be an empty house on Peter Pond Road a few miles away. A tearful Lening confessed, saying he was addicted to prescription painkillers, and turned to crime to support his drug habit.

"I need help off these drugs," says Lening. "It's awful. I need help. I need help. I don't want to live like this. I know better."

The Sheriff's Department says Lening is headed back to prison because he was on parole for a similar crime at the tiem of the break-in.

2 appellate court judges are stepping down
May 24, 2013 21:29 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.

Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.

The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.

Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.
