HPD Press Release:
On June 15th 2022, Officers responded to Carolina Carpet and Flooring for a breaking and entering that had occurred over night. The suspect had stolen numerous items, including drills, a TV, framing nail gun, and other various tools.
Investigators worked quickly to identify the suspect as 30-year-old, Jimmy Alan Reid. On June 17th, warrants were obtained for his arrest and a search warrant was obtained for his residence. After making entry into his residence at 602 Thomas Street, investigators located several items that were taken from the scene, but did not locate Reid.
On June 28thh 2022, at approximately 1:00PM, members of the Henderson Police Department located Reid through an anonymous tip. Reid was located in the area of Springwood Apartments, and began running after he saw officers approaching. A foot chase pursued, and Reid was caught after running through briars, and a densely wooded area.
Jimmy Alan Reid was taken before Magistrate Williams where he received a $50,000 bond for the Breaking and Entering of Carolina Carpet and Flooring, Resisting a Public Officer, and for an outstanding warrant of Hit and Run. Reid was remanded to the Vance County Detention Facility, but bonded out shortly thereafter.
Later that day, investigators were also able to recover additional stolen property from this incident from Sky Pawn, 943 W Andrews Ave Henderson. I am grateful for their aid in identifying these as stolen items and having the information we needed for further prosecution of the case.
