The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office says a Walker man was arrested in Albany for a Hammond theft.
Late last week the wanted subject, 36 YO Jonathan Dale Pierson of Ellis Road in Walker, was taken into custody by the Albany Police Department and charged as being a fugitive of Tangipahoa Parish.
Chief Jimmy Travis said a warrant for Pierson’s arrest was obtained July 29, after he was identified and linked to a crime that occurred at the Tractor Supply on Hwy 190, on July 28th. Consequently, Pierson was traveling in the same white colored Ford F-150 that also matched the description of a truck used in two recent burglaries in Livingston Parish when he was arrested.
All persons are innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
