Several Are Arrested during Week

The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office only reported four incidents this week, and two of them—a burglary and a theft by taking—occurred the same address on Liberty Church Road some three days apart.

In another incident from earlier in the month, a complainant on Hwy. 142 in Newborn said she bought mattresses that were sold as new, but were not new.

In another case of theft by deception, a complainant in Turtle Cove called deputies about a possible construction scam.

Deputies arrested several persons in the last week. Those arrested, and their charges, include:

•Lane Daniel Moorhead, 20, Covington—serious injury by vehicle (two counts) and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Mr. Moorhead’s charges stem from an accident that occurred in July on Hwy. 212 at Conley Ditch Road where several people were injured.

•Ashton Brianna Clark, 20, Haddock—probation violation.

•Jason Dwaine Garrison, 40, Tallapoosa—probation violation.

•Ricky Dale Johnson, 39, Monticello—possession of methamphetamine, driving while license suspended or revoked, failure to maintain lane and probation violation.

•Robert Steven Allen, 31, Covington—failure to maintain lane and driving while license suspended or revoked.

•Linda Marie May, 57, Newborn—purchase, possession, manufacture, distribution or sale of marijuana.

•Paul Steven May, 58, Newborn—purchase, possession, manufacture, distribution or sale of marijuana.

•Andrew William Hill, 26, Covington—probation violation.

•Kenneth Anthony Thurman, 54, Monticello—public drunkenness and criminal trespass.
