Something I think is weird is this:

So, Wesley enters the house (BE or trespass, whichever), then he tells the boys, so then THEY go to the house, find the jacket, and call LE.
How is it they were not charged with BE or trespassing?? Did French let them into the house? Did he invite them in and then the guys pointed out the jacket and called LE right there in front of him? Did they sneak into his house, find the jacket, call LE, and hang around inside the house beside the "evidence" until LE got there? Did they sneak in, find the jacket, take the jacket and carry it off like they did with the debit card?
I mean, trust me, this is not the only thing that strikes me as weird in this circus, but just the first thing that jumped out at me when I read that article.
