Antonio Parker – March 1
Antonio Grant Parker, 21, of Monticello, was arrested on Friday, March 1 by Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy Adamczyk.
The arrest followed a January 2019 offense of Parker's, in which Monticello Police Officer Williams responded to a call pertaining to a possible theft.
According to the report provided by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO), Officer Williams met with the victim, who accused Parker of taking a wallet from her home.
The victim stated that she had allowed Parker into her home, but that she had left Parker alone in order to run an errand up the street after Parker insisted that he wanted to stay and wait for her return.
The victim was gone for approximately 10 minutes, and when she returned, Parker was gone and had taken the victim's wallet with him.
The victim confirmed that Parker had been the only person in her home and no one else could have taken the wallet, which contained $250 in cash, her ID card and a gift card.
The wallet itself was documented as worth $50.
Parker was charged with grand theft and law enforcement officers attempted to make contact with him on Jan. 10, Jan. 14 and Jan. 15, without any success.
The theft of the wallet followed a previous charge in 2017 of burglary to a dwelling/conveyance, for which Parker was placed under probation.
On March 1, 2019, Deputy Adamczyk responded to Clark Avenue in reference to a custodial transport request from JCSO's Investigator Camper.
Investigators Camper, Williams and Bethea had made contact with Parker in an attempt to verify the existence of any local and active warrants.
It was verified that Parker had multiple warrants for his arrest, one from his January 2019 offense as well as for a violation of probation warrant that was signed by Judge Caloca-Johnson in February 2019.
During a search of his person, following his arrest, Parker was found to be in possession of three grams of synthetic marijuana.
