“Kevin stated that Shari is not allowed in the home, and that he believes she entered unlawfully and he wants her charged with burglary,” police reportedly wrote in the incident report.
Springville police then told Kevin that police had executed a search warrant, and that his daughter was not responsible for the damage, the outlet reported. The officer also reportedly told Kevin that Shari was unaware that she was not allowed to take the electronics out of the home, and they were returned. The electronics, FOX reported, citing the incident report, were three tablets, three cell phones, three cameras, written journals and three passports.

PEOPLE requested a copy of the incident report from the Springville Police Department, which was not immediately made available.
When asked about the police report involving Shari, Kevin Franke’s attorney Randy Kester sent PEOPLE a statement.
“At the time, Kevin was understandably upset that his front door had been broken, and that much of his property had been taken, including personal property as well as private and personal electronic devices and their contents,” Kester tells PEOPLE. “It was his home and property and he was never served with a warrant. Moreover, this allowed other third parties, who did not live at the home, access to his home and property, and of which they took advantage.”
“Notwithstanding, what he considered to be a significant and hurtful violation of the sanctity of his home and property, Kevin has taken an ameliorating and healing path,” the statement continues. “He has taken no action adverse to the police and continues to strengthen the bonds between he and all of his children.”
Kevin has been questioned but has not been charged with a crime.
