Gregg Allman almost had a few less silver dollars after someone
broke into his southeast Georgia home and stole a coin collection,
knives and unreleased concert recordings, police said.
The Allman Brothers Band singer and keyboardist, 61, was out of
town when burglars broke into his home in Richmond Hill, 20 miles
south of Savannah.
Bryan County Sheriff Department detective Sands said the burglars
took a case containing Allman's collection of 19th-century silver
dollars and two safes filled with gold coins, personal papers,
collectible knives and several tapes of unreleased
recordings.
Investigators recovered all the belongings except a handgun. Craig
Matthew George, 27, and Brittney Ann Sahlberg, 19, both of Richmond
Hill, were charged two days after the Dec. 27 burglary. Sands said
Allman knew them but would not say how.
George and Sahlberg have been released from jail on bond. Neither
had a listed phone number in Richmond Hill. Sands and District
Attorney Tom Durden said they did not know if either has an
attorney.
