Houston police said that on June 23, Cody broke into a home on Shady Maple Drive after allegedly claiming to be a peace officer with the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

According to court documents, the homeowner wasn't there at the time of the break-in.

Investigators add that Cody was also accused of stealing mail earlier this year. He is expected in court next month for that case.
