Daniel M Craddock stabbing / shooting a guy and getting
arrested. This write up covers Felony arrests 20 and 21.
Green Shirt J M Ellis did the penmanship for this
duo charged with burglary, conspiracy, and grand larceny. from
the criminal complaint and edited.....
Ellis tooled over to Brentwood Lane in the Big
Otter neighborhood and was advised, two separate homes had been
broken into and several items had been stolen. The home of
the suspects was rented to Tracy Johnson (DOB 11-18-75)
and Daniel Craddock (DOB 1-1-91).
Victim Ashley Mullins advised, she traveled over to
Ms Johnson's place where she saw her table and chairs setting in
the living room along with several other items she knew was her
property. With Craddock also there, Ms Johnson denied
having any stolen furniture before slamming the door in the
victim's face.
Victim Mullins provided Badge Ellis with
photographs of her stolen property.
On March 12th, Ellis exercised a search warrant on
Craddock/ Johnson. Neither suspects were at home during the
raid. Ellis was able to recover several of the stolen items in
the house.
Ms Mullins then advised of a large black duffle bag
that was stolen. Craddock's vehicle was a white GMC truck
with a rack on on the bed.
On the 14th, Ellis noticed that white truck parked
in the Wallback area of Summers Fork Road. A closer look,
Yelp, you guessed it, a large black duffle bag was in the bed of
the truck. Being a bright bulb that he is, a picture was
snapped, later showed it to the victim, and sure enough, that
was her stolen item.
Under questioning, both Craddock and Johnson advised,
they took the stolen items because Mullins had taken their stuff
first.
So why didn't the duo report the stolen stuff by Ms
Mullins, they said: "they didn't like to call the law for
things."
Some things to learn. IF you're stealing stuff, you aught
not leave the stuff setting in plain view. If you're fibbing
about who stole what first, you need to come up with a better
lie.
