Arrest made in Barton County
As Deputies continued their investigation, they discovered the vehicle was used in a theft, where it was later reported, approximately 80 solar panels were stolen along with other items as well. Between the vehicle, solar panels, and other items the estimated value totaled approximately $40,000. Deputies were able to find the owner of the items and will be released later once the investigation is complete.
Based on the information received and the recovery of the stolen items listed above, Sgt. Luce with the Barton County Sheriff's Office applied for three separate search warrants for three different properties that were believed to be involved in the recent thefts. It was also learned there were other items stolen from the theft believed to be on these properties.
On November 11th, 2024 (Veterans Day), the Barton County Prosecutor assisted the Sheriff’s Office by filing the search warrants. On the same day, Judge Nichols granted the search warrants, and they were executed on the same day and into the night.
Deputies first went to a residence on 33rd RD in Burgess, MO, where Mackenzie Jenkins (32) resides. Once on scene Jenkins attempted to escape by exiting the window of the camper he was living in. This was no match for our deputies as they greeted him outside and took him into custody without incident. Deputies began searching the location and were able to locate numerous stolen items. These items were seized and placed into evidence. Jenkins was arrested and transported to the Barton County Jail.
Deputies then moved to a residence across the road on NW 176th Ln Burgess, MO. Deputies found more stolen items reported with Barton County and other agencies. Deputies seized the items and placed them into evidence. Between the items at Jenkins and the additional properties, the estimated value was about $50,000.
While on scene of the search warrant being executed on NW176th Ln, a dark colored F-150 pulled on to the property and a male exited the passenger side of the vehicle. Deputies recognized the male as Christopher Martinez (47).
Due to the search warrant that covers late arriving guests, Martinez was detained at that time. The driver identified as Timothy Adams (29), who was driving, was also detained. After a quick search of the license plate and VIN of the truck it was determined the vehicle was stolen out of Joplin, Mo on November 10th, 2024. Adams was arrested at that time.
Deputies searched the vehicle and located two firearms with one being confirmed stolen. The Stolen pistol was part of a burglary/theft in Oklahoma where 160+ guns were stolen.
All three subjects were arrested and transported to the Barton County Jail for processing and were placed on a 24hr Hold for Investigation.
On November 12th, 2024, Prosecuting Attorney Mike Smalley filed the following charges on Mackenzie Jenkins, Christopher Martinez, and Timothy Adams:
Mackenzie Jenkins: Receiving Stolen Property and Tampering with Motor Vehicle 1st.
Christopher Martinez: Receiving Stolen Property and Unlawful possession of firearm.
Timothy Adams: Tampering with Motor Vehicle 1st. and Unlawful Possession of Firearm.
