A Grayson County woman has been arrested on burglary charges after police located multiple stolen items and burglary tools while responding to a suspicious persons report on Peonia Road.
On Friday afternoon at approximately 4:40, Grayson County Deputies Sean Fentress and Justin Cockerell along with Clarkson Police Officer Jordan Jones were dispatched to a residence in the 1700 block of Peonia Road after someone was seen on the property “rummaging around,” according to the arrest citation.
Upon arriving at the scene, Fentress observed a female standing next to a vehicle.
While questioning the female, 38-year-old Jessica Blair, she gave police “different stories as to why” she was on the property. Blair then gave police consent to search her person and vehicle, with deputies locating jewelry that the homeowner said belonged to his mother.
During a check of the property, Fentress writes in the citation that there were two doors that had been broken into “to gain access” to the property, with one of the doors leading to the area where the jewelry was kept by the homeowner.
While continuing to search the property near where Blair was first seen, police found the homeowner’s handgun and another handgun, along with drug paraphernalia. Inside Blair’s SUV, police located “multiple items” that belonged to the homeowner.
In the back seat of the vehicle, police found pliers, bolt cutters, headlamps, and a hammer, the citation states.
Blair was arrested and charged with first-degree burglary, possession of burglary tools and possession of drug paraphernalia and lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.
The investigation is ongoing and further arrests could be made.
