Three individuals were arrested recently after property was recovered at a residence in Joaquin following a search warrant. Shelby County Sheriff Willis Blackwell reports the arrests were the result of a burglary of a building that occurred on County Road 3229 in Center.
 
 
       
 
 
On November 7, 2016 Deputy Ruth Gonzales was dispatched to a residence on CR 3229 in reference to several items being stolen from storage buildings on the property. The complainant stated a weed-eater, chainsaw, miscellaneous tools/items, welding machine and a three-wheeler were taken from the location.
 
During the course of the investigation, the complainant notified Shelby County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) Lieutenant Kevin Windham that some of the items stolen from the building had been sold at Loop 500 Salvage in Center. SCSO Investigators Del Birdwell and Michael Griffin made contact with staff at the salvage yard and retrieved video surveillance and a copy of the scale ticket which included the three-wheeler taken from the property.
 
The ticket listed Ervin Parrie, 43, of Logansport, LA., as the customer selling the scrap load. After reviewing the surveillance footage, it was determined the three-wheeler Parrie sold was the same item stolen from the location on CR 3229. A warrant was issued for Parrie for Burgulary of a Building. He was arrested in DeSoto Parish on November 28 and is awaiting transportation to the SCSO.
 
A search warrant was executed December 13, 2016 at the residence of Justin Haessly on Highway 7 East in Joaquin. While the search warrant was being served, numerous items believed to be stolen were recovered from inside the home. Haessly, 29, was taken into custody along with Barbara McKelvey, 27, of Joaquin, as per order of the warrant. A Poulan Woodsman Chainsaw believed to be taken from the burglary in Center was recovered during the search warrant. The chainsaw was identified by the complainant as one if the items taken from the location.
 
Information was received about property recovered from the home during interviews conducted at the SCSO. Center Police Department Detective Stephen Stroud was contacted and advised about a television found at the home which was reportedly taken from a building in Center. The television was confirmed to be stolen and was turned over to Det. Stroud.
 
McKelvey was charged with Hindering Apprehension/Prosecution of a Known Felon (F-3) - $4,000 bond and Burglary of Building (SJF) - $3,000 bond. She posted bond and was released December 17.
