burglary

The 24th Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s office and Pickens County Sheriff’s office have consulted with an anonymous donor who has generously made $5,000 available to anyone with information about a burglary reported last year. Firearms were stolen and security equipment was damaged at a camp house on Pickens County Road 13 (Vienna Road) the night of Oct. 30, 2022. “Someone knows who is responsible for this,” said Pickens County Sheriff Jordan Powell. “We hope the reward will serve as an incentive for them to do the right thing and come forward.”

Kenneth Dawayne Elliott, 20, of Decatur pled guilty in Fayette Circuit Court to a second degree burglary charge on Jan. 10 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The plea deal was the result of a failed robbery and burglary attempt at the Fayette County branch of West Alabama Bank on Jan. 27, 2017. The original charges against Elliott were second degree burglary of a banking institution by force, first degree robbery, and attempting to elude a police officer.
