On May 27, 2026 we (Cpl. Newberry and Ptl. Thomas) were dispatched to 2505 N Slappey Blvd in reference to a stolen vehicle.

We made contact with Jackson Young. He stated that he woke this morning around 10:00 am and noticed his truck was missing. We asked if he had any personal belongings in the vehicle and he stated “no”. We asked if he had any bad ties with anyone, he also stated “no”.

We gathered his personal information and ran his name through GCIC/NCIC. Everything came back cleared. We also ran his tag through FLOCK, to track the last whereabouts of the vehicle. The last known location of the vehicle was last night on Nottingham Way and Ledo Rd around 2212hrs.

We gave him the case number for the report. We then headed to 2825 Ledo Rd (Walmart), to locate Young’s vehicle. We then found Young’s vehicle in Walmart parking lot with the driver side door locked and the passenger side door unlocked. We then took fingerprints on the vehicle with our department issued fingerprint kit.

Lee County Sheriff Department was notified of the stolen vehicle at Walmart. Deputy Vick arrived on scene, he then went in Walmart to look over video footage of who could have potentially stole Young’s vehicle.

Fingerprints were lifted from the vehicle and were placed on a fingerprint print card. Young was picked up from 2505 N Slappey Blvd (Superior Creek Lodge), and transported to Walmart to retrieve his vehicle. Young was asked to make sure nothing important was taken from the vehicle. He searched the vehicle and said nothing unusual was taken.

Pictures were taken of the interior and exterior of the vehicle on department issued camera and will be logged into evidence locked #02.

After the evidence was gathered Young was told he was good to go with his vehicle. Young then got in his vehicle and drove off. We then went inside of Walmart security room to see if there was any progress on identifying the suspect that took Young’s vehicle.

While reviewing the camera footage, we saw that the subject who departed from Young’s vehicle was a white male, wearing a grey shirt and dark shorts. The male subject arrives at 2825 Ledo Rd (Walmart) at 2216hrs on 05/26/2026. The vehicle was parked near the garden area of the business. The male subject departed from the vehicle without closing the driver door of the vehicle. The male subject then walked inside of Walmart and his face is spotted on camera.

After a few moments, the male was seen walking out of Walmart without shoes. The male then began to walk throughout the parking lot and approach different vehicles throughout the lot. The male was then seen walking to the rear of the business. After reviewing the footage again to get a still image of the suspect, it was determined that the suspect with Jackson Young. I (Cpl. Newberry) notified Lt. Taylor of the incident and he also agreed that the subject was Young.

We then responded back to 2505 N Slappey Blvd (Superior Creek), to make contact with Young. I (Cpl. Newberry) advised Young that he was seen getting out of the vehicle at 2825 Ledo Rd (Walmart). Young then advised that he did not remember driving the vehicle. Young then made a comment, referencing that he may have been “sleepwalking.”

Young was placed in handcuffs (double-locked) to the rear. Young was searched for weapons/contraband. Young did not possess any weapons/contraband. Young was then placed into the rear of my patrol vehicle and transported to the Dougherty County Jail.

We (Cpl. Newberry and Ptl. Thomas) placed our duty weapons in the trunk of the patrol vehicle and turned Young over to the intake officers. We searched the rear of the patrol vehicle for weapons/contraband. We did not locate any weapons/contraband.

Warrant #26-007164-01 APD will be taken on Young for False Report of a Crime.

This case has been cleared by arrest.
