Crime
Carlton man charged with stalking
A Carlton man was
arrested last week after
he reportedly violated a
Family Violence Protec
tion order.
Austin Taylor Clark,
19, was charged with
two counts of aggravated
stalking. Deputy Joshua
Smith was dispatched to
White Oak Trail where he
met with a woman who
had called 911 to report
that her grandson (Clark)
was on the property in a
storage shed.
She said she has an ac
tive Temporary Protection
Order (TPO) against him
which required him to not
come within 250 yards of
his grandmother and to
have no contact with her.
Smith and Deputy
Josie Weaver went to an
address on Broad River
Road where Clark was
now located.
Weaver approached
Clark while Smith ap
proached him from be
hind and grabbed his wrist
to take him into custody
on an outstanding warrant
for aggravated stalking.
He admitted that he
had come from his grand
mother’s home, saying
he had nowhere to go
and would go back there
again after getting out of
jail. Officers told him he
would face more charges
if he did go back as long
as the TPO was active.
In another arrest, two
people were charged with
criminal trespass after a
possible burglary attempt.
Tabitha Lane Barrett,
51, of Colbert, and Kev
in Rivera, 41, of Athens
were each charged with
one count of criminal
trespass.
Deputy Joshua Smith
was dispatched to Wag
goner’s Grove Church
Road regarding a possible
burglary attempt with two
subjects on the scene. The
caller was the homeown
er, who was not at home
at the time of the call but
had received information
from a neighbor.
Smith found a man and
a woman, later identified
as Rivera and Barrett, on
the property.
They began to walk
away from Smith when
they saw the patrol car
approaching so Smith
activated his blue lights
since he had stopped in
the middle of the road and
ordered them to return to
him. They complied.
They stated they were
told the house was for
rent and so they were
checking on it. While on
the scene, Smith did not
see any signs or markings
indicating the residence
was vacant or for rent.
The residence appeared
to be lived in by someone
and also had dogs inside
the home which could be
heal'd barking.
The homeowner arrived
and told Smith he did not
know the two people and
that they did not have
permission to be on his
property. He checked his
home and reported that
nothing appeared to be
missing but that he did
want to press charges.
Smith later received a
call from the pastor of
Colbert Baptist Church
who said he had a video
of the two people at the
church prior to their arrest
and that they were in a
blue truck.
He further stated that
they got out of the truck
and that Rivera retrieved
a piece of glass and put
it down in some bushes.
They were approached
by the youth director and
they told him that they
were there to inquire
about counseling and the
director told them to see
the church secretary.
They went into the
church’s restrooms and
then left without speaking
to anyone, according to
the pastor.
Other arrests on file at
the sheriff’s office this
week included:
•Courtney Marcel
Thomas, 23, of Daniels-
ville, was charged with
possession and use of
drug-related objects and
possession of metham-
phetamine.
Deputy Gabe Dalton
was notified by Lt. Jason
Ring that he had received
a phone call reporting that
a suspicious male was ob
served behind Providence
Baptist Church.
Dalton went to the
church and made contact
with a man who told him
that he saw a man parked
behind the church and
as he traveled past the
church he saw a green
van back up behind the
church, appearing to be
moving out of sight.
The man said he had
waited there but had not
seen the van leave.
Dalton found the van
behind the church and
saw that it was occupied
by a man, a woman and a
small child.
Dalton noted that he
is familial' with the man
from previous narcotics
arrests and was found to
have methamphetamine
and drug paraphernalia on
him during this incident.
Thomas was arrested
and DFACS was called
due to the presence of the
small child. The church
did not appeal' to have
been broken into, but both
Thomas and his compan
ion were barred from the
property indefinitely.
