The N.C. Department of Public Safety lists Everett, 42, as an absconder from its probation and parole program. She’s wanted on a 2012 charge of obtaining property under false pretense, but she was also convicted of resisting arrest in February, larceny in December 2012 and was arrested for shoplifting in September 2012.
“One of the problems is the fact that we usually have the last known address, and if they’re not there, it’s hard to find them,” KDPS spokesman Woody Spencer said. “Because, we simply don’t have the manpower to send out case officers to look for absconders, or people we have warrants on. Of course, if we get a call or one of our officers sees them, and we can do it that way, that’s fine.”
Gray, 39, is sought for an obtaining property under false pretense charge from December 2011. He also holds two convictions for selling or dealing a controlled substance to a person younger than 16, and convictions for multiple charges of passing worthless checks in 2001 and 2002.
In 2009, Gray came to the attention of The Free Press because a burger he purchased at the North Herritage Street Burger King allegedly had a screw in it. According to
Sutton, 35, has a history of charges for failure to appear in court, and is wanted for an August 2012 charge of obtaining property under false pretense. She was convicted on drug charges in 2009 and 2007, arrested for felony contempt of court in September 2009 and has a conviction for larceny in 2007.
Police also say Sutton’s record shows an assault charge.
“She tends to just disappear, and it’s tough to find her,” Spencer said. “That’s one of the reasons these five, actually, were selected. Because, we want to find them, they’re hard to find, but if the newspaper puts their pictures on the front page, most likely someone’s going to call and give us some tips. You know, we need all the eyes that we can get.”
Spencer added, “Plus, if you look, pretty much all these had charges in the past. It’s not like they made a mistake. They’re what we call frequent flyers. We see them a lot.”
Jacolby Riddick, 24, made his way onto the list because of March 28 charges for felony breaking and entering and assault on a female. In January, he was convicted of possession of a firearm by a felon, and in May 2012 arrested for robbery for taking $20 off a man in front of
Additionally, Riddick sports a drug and trespassing charge from February 2012. In 2010 he was convicted of disorderly conduct, convicted of robbery in 2008 and of shoplifting and possession of stolen goods in 2007.
“We’ve had people where, basically, that’s their career, is breaking and entering,” Spencer said. “Once they serve their time, and they do, they come back out and they do it again. It’s just a revolving door. It’s frustrating for us, but that’s our job. We do what we can, and try to get them off the street for as long as the law allows.”
However, Riddick’s whereabouts are now known; he was shot late afternoon Friday in an incident that took the life of 18-year-old Jahad Moore.
