MOULTRIE — Two people, including a juvenile boy, were apprehended after they allegedly pushed a man off his bicycle and stole it Tuesday afternoon.
Travon Jamal Jackson, 17, of 247 Kendallwood Road, was charged with making terroristic threats and acts, theft by taking and obstruction. The boy was charged with theft by taking.
A Moultrie police officer responded to Fifth Street Southwest at 5:36 p.m. Tuesday about the theft. The officer spoke with Nolan Thompson, who stated he was riding his bicycle past the Woodmen of the World Park, also on Fifth Street Southwest, when he was approached by several black males. During the incident, Thompson was pushed off the bicycle, and it was stolen from him.
Thompson stated the theft had just happened when the officer arrived, and the thieves were still at the park. When the officer arrived at the park, he saw a black male riding a bicycle that match the description of Thompson’s bicycle.
