Clinton Police Department Investigates Property Damage and stealing at Wilder R-V

Zachary Edgington

On Saturday, March 23rd, Clinton Police Officers were dispatched to Wilder RV in reference to an unknown person or persons gaining access to their secure lot, forcing entry into numerous recreational vehicles, and stealing a variety of expensive items from those vehicles, resulting in a potential financial loss estimated in thousands of dollars. The Investigations Unit were called on to process the scene and were successful in gathering several pieces of physical evidence that would later prove extremely beneficial in the continuing investigation.

In a seemingly unrelated event, another Clinton Officer performed a traffic stop that resulted in an occupant fleeing from the vehicle. After a short foot pursuit, Clinton Officers detained Zachary Edgington, a 27 year old Clinton resident, who was arrested on outstanding criminal warrants.

Another Clinton Officer, who had earlier assisted Detectives at the Wilder RV scene, discovered evidence in Edgington’s possession that he recognized as being related to the Wilder RV investigation. Clinton Detectives were called on again, and their continued investigation led them to a second suspect and his residence where much of the stolen property from Wilder RV was recovered.

Steven Mackey, age 33, also a resident of Clinton, was the second suspect arrested in the incident. He is charged with Felony Property Damage and Felony Stealing with a $15,000 bond. Edgington is also held at the Henry County Jail on the charges of Felony Property Damage and Felony Stealing with a bond of $15,000.
