JONES COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
One suspect was arrested, and warrants secured for another as the result of a stolen vehicle alert by Jones County Flock cameras.
Angel Lee Chastain Roberson, 30, was arrested Nov. 1 and charged with possession of a firearm by convicted felon or first offender, financial transaction card theft, theft by receiving stolen property felony, possession of methamphetamine and possession of a firearm during commission of or attempt to commit a felony.
Warrants were secured for the driver of the vehicle identified as Quinton “Bino” Johnson for charges of theft by receiving stolen property, possession of methamphetamine, financial credit card theft and driving while license suspended.
A report of the arrest by Jones County Deputy Chris Shurley states he received the stolen vehicle alert at approximately 10:30 p.m. Oct. 31, while on patrol on Griswoldville Road. He said due to his location, he decided to try to cut the black Acura off at the intersection of Hendersonville Road.
Shurley said, after not making contact, he traveled west on Griswoldville Road toward Highway 49. He observed taillights in the distance and caught up with the Acura that was now traveling westbound.
The deputy said he pulled behind the vehicle that had quickly turned into a driveway and cut off its lights. Shurley said he was able to identify the car as the stolen vehicle. He said before he could get out of his car, the driver took off running up Griswoldville Road and disappeared into the wood line.
The front seat passenger, later identified as Roberson, stayed with the car. Shurley said he informed JCSO Deputy Jeff Sullivan, who was responding to the location about the fleeing driver, but he was not able to make contact.
Shurley said he made contact with Roberson and instructed her to get out of the car. He put the passenger in the backseat of his car after clearing her of contraband and informing her that she was occupying a stolen vehicle.
The deputy said a clear glass pipe connected to a colored pipe was sitting in clear view in the center cup holder. He said the pipe was easily identifiable as being used for smoking methamphetamine and still had a good amount of the product present in the bowl.
Shurley said he and Sullivan searched the vehicle and found several blank cards not belonging to either of the car’s occupants in the center console. Another glass pipe was found and a Taurus G2C firearm was located in a bag belonging to the passenger.
The deputy said the trunk contained a pocketbook not belonging to Roberson or Johnson. He said another bag was found in the backseat containing clothes and random items suspected to be stolen.
Shurley said the vehicle was confirmed with Bibb County as being stolen and the driver was identified as Johnson.
