Suspects in jewelry heist surrender to police www.privateofficer.com

Walton County Fla. April 6 2008

Two women turned themselves in to Walton County (Fla.) authorities Wednesday night in connection with a March 12 jewelry store theft, Walton County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Eddie Farris said.
Emily Parker Johnson, 54, of a Croom Drive address in Montgomery, and Mary Parker Brown, 52, of a Laurelwood Lane address in Montgomery, were both charged with grand theft, according to Walton County arrest reports.
The two sisters, along with a third sister, Rheata Parker Dozier, 55, of a Wares Ferry Road address in Montgomery, entered Hooch and Holly’s jewelry store in the community of Seaside in northwest Florida March 12, according to Walton County Sheriff’s Office reports.
Store manager Jennifer Black has said one woman bought something at the counter while the other two dropped jewelry into straw bags sold by the store.
The women left without paying for the items, she said.The women arrested allegedly took $4,424.70 of jewelry, according to the same reports.Dozier was not charged, Farris said, because the Florida state attorney’s office had "insufficient evidence" to prosecute."(Brown and Johnson) came in late (Wednesday) evening, sometime after 4:30 p.m.," Farris said.
"They were booked in and bonded out right after that."Both Brown and Johnson were released on $5,000 bond each, Farris said.Sheriff’s deputies recovered the jewelry and returned it to the store.A Mary Brown in Montgomery with the same Laurelwood Lane address listed in the police report said neither she nor her sister were those who turned themselves in. A Rheata P. Dozier at the same Wares Ferry Road address as listed in the police reports said she did not know anything about the situation
