Terrell Williams was linked to the breaking in at Greg Biffle's home after his July 29 arrest in Smyrna, Georgia, and investigators recovered most of the stolen property. The case ties a burglary at the late NASCAR driver’s house to a separate arrest and a wider search across Georgia.
Greg Biffle home burglary
Someone broke into Biffle’s home on Jan. 8 and stole cash in excess of $30,000, multiple firearms, NASCAR memorabilia, and gold and silver coins. Greg Biffle, his wife, and his two children died in a plane crash in December, and security footage later showed an intruder inside the residence.
Infrared camera illumination and facial coverings prevented detectives from making an immediate identification. Electronic records and cellular tower triangulation later placed Terrell Williams at the home at the time of the break-in and during the days leading up to it.
Georgia search warrants
On July 29, Cobb County police contacted North Carolina officers after arresting 44-year-old Terrell Williams of Stone Mountain. Officers arrested Williams in connection with a residential break-in at a home in Smyrna that occurred one week after a deadly domestic shooting at the property.
Investigators discovered that property associated with Williams in Georgia matched the items stolen from Biffle’s home. Search warrants executed in Georgia recovered most of the stolen property and also turned up a service weapon stolen three years earlier from an officer in western North Carolina.
North Carolina extradition
Detectives found a radio frequency detector in Williams’ possession and believe it was used to locate wireless security cameras. Investigators also said cash taken during the break-in was allegedly used the next day at a mobile automotive dealership in Connectivity County to buy a vehicle, and North Carolina authorities have since seized that vehicle.
Authorities have not confirmed whether additional accomplices were involved in the break-in at Biffle’s home. Officials continue to investigate a separate white-collar aspect of the case that spans multiple states from South Carolina to California, and no timetable has been announced for Williams’ extradition back to North Carolina.
