The following criminal complaints have been filed in the Tucker County Magistrate office:
Jasper Mallow, of Thomas, was charged with three counts of Petit Larceny. According to the complaint on Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023 Sheriff J.E. Kopec took a report of multiple thefts at the Davis Dollar General. He responded and obtained a one page hand written statement from the store manager. The statement summarizes that while he was working the prior day, Nov. 1, 2023, the suspect came in three separate times while the store was busy and stole items. The mode of operation was he would walk back to the area of the store grab the items to be stolen, place them on his person and then walk out the door. The manager stated he watched the video and had Mallow stealing items three separate times. The video shows the defendant at 3 p.m. allegedly stealing three Tombstone pizza sticks, two Clover Valley extra sharp cheddar cheese sticks and one Red Bull energy drink. At 6 p.m. video showed him allegedly taking two Red Bull energy drinks, four Tombstone pizza sticks and one block Clover Valley cheese sticks, again at 6:24 p.m. taking two Red Bull energy drinks. Video was insufficient so a physical inventory was done to ensure the items were missing. Total value of the items was $29.25. Kopec obtained three separate warrants for the crime of petit larceny since there were three separate crimes on the same date.
Jasper Mallow, of Thomas, was charged with two counts of Shoplifting. The complaint states that on Feb. 7 Deputy C.R. Summerfield of the Tucker County Sheriff’s office (TCSO) received a complaint regarding a shoplifting compliant at the Shop-n-Save in Davis. He arrived on scene and was met by the store manager who stated that Jasper Mallow had allegedly stolen from the store. The officer obtained a hand written statement from the manager where he stated that on Thursday, Feb. 1 she witnessed the suspect come into the store and take two torch lighters from the display at the front of the store. She stated that these items were not purchased by the suspect or his mother. She stated that she witnessed the suspect walk over to the produce department and kneel down. She stated that while reviewing the security footage she observed the suspect allegedly take a pair of ear buds into the corner, open them and shove them into his pants. The estimated value is $44.97 for the stolen items. Summerfield obtained a copy of the footage and while viewing he observed a male subject wearing a gray hat, dark sunglasses, gray sweatshirt and blue jeans enter the store. The subject walked into the corner with a white package, opened said package and appeared to conceal the merchandise.
Destry Seth Poling, of Parsons, was charged with 2 counts of Possession of a controlled substance. According to the complaint on Thursday, Feb. 8 Trooper R.S. Musgrave along with Deputy B. Gidley, were dispatched by Tucker County 911 to a suspicious person at the Citgo in Hambleton. A male was seen pacing outside the store allegedly possessing a large knife. The officers arrived and made contact with the suspect identified as Destry Poling. Upon speaking with him Musgrave observed a white case hanging out of a pocket on Poling’s person. He allegedly stated that it was his glass pipe, commonly used as a smoking device. At this time the officer asked the suspect if he had any other substance on his person to which the suspect allegedly advised he would have a “dab” (marijuana/THC) in his pocket. Gidley conducted a person search of the suspect and observed a black capsule housing multiple small bags. One pink pill, six pink pills and unknown seeds were in separate bags. The suspect advised the pills were his suboxone prescription but could not provide valid proof of said prescription. The substances were field tested and taken into evidence at the WVSP Parsons Detachment. The above stated “dab” was not located during this interaction. On Friday, Feb. 9 Musgrave located the suspect In the Mille Race City Park and he was observed with a propane torch and black case. The suspect advised the “dab” from the previous law enforcement interaction was housed in the black case. Musgrave obtained the above stated substance and it was logged into evidence at the WVSP Parsons Detachment. Poling was advised of his options, to which he refused to cooperate with any law enforcement investigations.
All crimes were committed in Tucker County and all suspects are presumed innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law.
