Man faces multiple charges
Published 5:49 pm Tuesday, February 23, 2016
Police arresting a burglary suspect connected him to another burglary being reported over the radio in real time as they searched the car in which he was riding. Troy Cameron Carver, who was out on bond after an arrest on burglary charges last month, has been accused in three additional theft cases and also faces drug and obstruction charges.
The new charges came after he was arrested for a second time in a little more than a month as a suspect in multiple residential burglaries.
Carver had been identified as a suspect in at least one additional burglary at the time police saw him on Feb. 15 in a car at an apartment complex on 26th Avenue Southeast.
One other suspect in the car was arrested for alleged involvement in some of the thefts. A second woman ran from the car and escaped from police and the driver was not charged.
“When he (officer) goes to pull him (Carver) out of the car, he tried to fight and get away,” Colquitt County Sheriff’s Inv. Timmy Barnes said. “We acquired consent to search from the owner of the vehicle.”
During the search officers found suspected methamphetamine and hydrocodone, he said.
“While we were searching it, we’re hearing on the radio about a burglary on Dunn Road,” Barnes said. “They were describing the items stolen. I’d just seen those items in the car we searched.”
Recovered along with the drugs were a jewelry box, jewelry and an earring holder.
“All that was located in the car he was found in,” Barnes said. “We recovered all the items (stolen) from Dunn Road.”
Police initially arrested Carver in January after he was identified as the person who sold property from recent burglaries at American Pawn locations in Moultrie and Thomasville. At that time Carver, 25, 582 26th Ave. S.E. Apt. 592, was charged with two counts of burglary and one count of entering an auto or other motor vehicle with intent of felony.
Since then police charged him on Feb. 15 with burglary and obstruction of a police officer. On Thursday investigators filed two additional burglary charges, possession of methamphetamine and possession of hydrocodone.
Katlin Cowart, 21, 117 Thomas St., Bainbridge, was charged at the same time with being party to a crime (first degree burglary).
