My question involves criminal law for the state of: Mississippi

My home burned but there was still a few things I could salvage, like my tv. When I went back home to start cleaning and see what was left after the fire, I found my home burglarized. The tv was gone along w/other things.

I knew who did it (dope head). When I confronted him he admitted he stole it. I went to his house to get it and told me I couldn't have it. I was not going to argue about it so I got in my car to leave, and next thing I see is him coming out the door with a bat in hand, threatening me. I went back to my house and called law enforcement. After deputy got there, the thief brought my tv.

He refuses to give back the other property he stole so I was wondering what would be the criminal charges on the tv? Is that a felony? Any time for that? (ballpark figure?) This may be his first offense, since his grandmother paid his way out of drug charges a couple years ago.

Maybe I should file a civil suit for the vandalism.

He's been stealing my mail. I plan to report that as well.
