Kinsey
Stephen Laroy Kinsey Jr., 18, of Sallisaw was arrested Oct. 30 and charged Nov. 9 in Sequoyah County District Court with second degree burglary, knowingly concealing stolen property and malicious injury to property.
Kinsey is allegedly part of the group, which was charged with the vandalisms at Sallisaw High School, Blue Ribbon Auto Group, burning the Greasy School and who confessed to several incidents in other counties. Kinsey allegedly is involved with one burglary in Sallisaw at Hog Creek Salvage.
The four other suspects, Darrel James Jones, 19, Donald Dean Whitworth, 23, Jerry Dean Boling, 19, and a 16-year-old juvenile male, all of Sallisaw, were arrested Oct. 30 and charged with multiple counts of vandalism, burglary, and knowingly concealing stolen property and malicious injury to property, in Sequoyah County District Court, Nov. 10. Jones, Whitworth and Boling are being held in the Sequoyah County Jail. Their arraignment will be Feb. 22.
Kinsey told Sallisaw Police Officers he, Jones, Boling and a juvenile broke into Hog Creek Salvage in Sallisaw Oct. 21 to get some things for the juvenile’s truck.
Kinsey said he told Boling, Jones, and the juvenile he was going to stay in the truck while the three of them went inside Hog Creek Salvage. Kinsey told officers the three men came back with four tires then went back into the salvage yard. Kinsey said he heard glass breaking so he walked up to the salvage yard. He said Boling, Jones, and the juvenile were breaking into the building, according to the report.
Kinsey told officers the three came back with two grills for a pick up truck and a side mirror. Kinsey said after the incident all of them went back to Jones’s house.
Kinsey took the officers to his mother’s house northeast of Sallisaw so the officers could recover the tires. Kinsey was booked into the Sequoyah County Jail and later released on a $6,500 bond.
