| SUBJECT: | Tip Leads Kingsport Officers to Wanted Fugitives and Meth Lab | ||
| DATE: | February 26, 2016 | ||
| CASE #: | 16-003966 | ||
| GENERAL NARRATIVE | |||
| On February 26, 2016 at approximately 11:00 AM Kingsport Police Patrol Officers responded to a report of possible drug activity and wanted fugitives at Maple Oak Apartments #156, located at 818 Oak Street in Kingsport. Upon arrival, they spoke with the resident, identified as Kelli R. Larkins. Ms. Larkins initially lied and denied that anyone else was there; however, when the officers spotted other individuals moving about, she eventually consented to a search of her apartment.
Officers immediately encountered another female, identified as Jessica L. Lundy, as she stepped out into a hallway. They soon also located a male, identified as Johnny Blaine Moore, where he had retreated to hide in a bedroom closet. An active warrant check revealed that Ms. Lundy was wanted out of Hawkins County for Violation of Probation, while Mr. Moore was wanted out of Hawkins County for Failure to Appear on a prior dangerous drug charge. During the search for these fugitives, the officers discovered an active meth lab inside the apartment. The K.P.D. Vice and Narcotics Unit was immediately called to the scene to take over the investigation. The Meth Task Force and the Kingsport Fire Department also responded to assist with the safe collection of evidence as well as the proper decontamination of the officers, the suspects, and the crime scene. The three suspects were transported to the Kingsport Justice Center. After further investigation, all three suspects were charged with Manufacturing of Methamphetamine and Possession of Unlawful Drug Paraphernalia. Ms. Larkins was also charged with Maintaining a Dwelling Where Drugs are Used, Stored, Sold, or Manufactured. Ms. Lundy and Mr. Moore were also held on the pre-existing arrest warrants. They were all confined in the Kingsport City Jail pending arraignment. |

| SUBJECT: | Detectives Seeking Suspect in Residential Burglary | ||
| DATE: | February 26, 2016 | ||
| CASE #: | 16-003604 | ||
| GENERAL NARRATIVE | |||
| On February 22, 2016 at approximately 11:15 AM, Kingsport Police Patrol Officers responded to a burglar alarm at a residence in the 2000 block of Fairview Avenue in Kingsport. Upon arrival, they located a broken window on the rear of the residence as well as a back door that was ajar. The officers searched the premises; however, nobody was located.
The homeowner responded and surveyed her residence to determine if anything had been stolen. The house had been ransacked; however, the only thing that initially appeared to be missing was a single pillowcase. A check of in-home surveillance video footage showed what looks to be a single white male suspect inside the residence. It appears that he entered through the window, dumped out several drawers, removed a pillowcase from a pillow (most likely for the purpose of collecting his loot), but then exited through the door after being scared off by the alarm. This same home was previously burglarized approximately seven months earlier. Several photos of the suspect taken from surveillance video have been included in this release. A clip of the actual footage has been made available for viewing on the K.P.D. YouTube channel via the link below. Please note that the suspect does not appear until about 20 seconds into the clip. Anyone who recognizes him or who may have any additional information which may assist Detectives with their investigation is asked to contact the K.P.D. Criminal Investigations Division at 423-229-9429 or call Kingsport Central Dispatch at 423-246-9111. Alternatively, if an individual who is able to supply information related to this or any other case wishes not to be identified, tips can be submitted anonymously via online “Citizen Feedback” forms available at the following link: |
