A 34-year-old Ray County woman charged with felonies after a couple of alleged incidents in Carroll County in January is due in court.
A sheriff’s deputy’s report says on January 22, a Norborne resident reported his shed had been broken into and some tools were stolen valued at $950. Five days later, two persons said Tabitha Renee Spicer, of Hardin, tried to sell the tools to them, but they refused to buy them.
Spicer and an accomplice threw the tools over a bridge on County Road 131 near County Road 300 north of Norborne instead of returning them to the owner.
On January 28, the owner of the tools and a friend of his went to retrieve the tools from the ditch and observed Spicer leaving the same area- where some of the stolen property was recovered by the sheriff’s office later. As Spicer and her accomplice left the area, the victim and his friend followed them in their vehicle.
On County Road 131 southwest of Norborne, Spicer stopped her vehicle, turned around and rammed the victim’s vehicle in the passenger’s side multiple times. Spicer’s accomplice- the name of whom still is not known- assaulted the victim of the theft with an ax and a broken ball bat, then fled the scene on foot.
According to court documents, Spicer is charged with felonies for receiving stolen property and property damage in the first degree. Bond was reset from $50,000 cash only- no 10-percent allowed to $10,000 cash or surety- no 10-percent allowed on March 9.
Spicer’s initial hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Wednesday, March 16, at Carroll County Circuit Court.
