Mackenzie Clay breaks into neighbor’s house to give them mail

27-year-old Mackenzie Clay was jailed on February 26th after a home invasion on Mimosa Drive the night prior. Raquel Flores-Guillen stated that she heard someone enter her home from the basement door while she was upstairs. She then called out to them and grabbed a gun to defend herself. Her husband, Mr. Villalobos, quickly jumped out of the shower, took possession of the gun, and asked the intruder why he was inside their home. The intruder stated that he wanted to give them mail and proceeded to come up the basement steps. Mr. Villalobos fired a warning shot down the stairs. The intruder began to run away, and that’s when Mr. Villalobos noticed it was their next-door neighbor who had broken in. Mr. Villalobos told officers that two children were in the house when the incident occurred. Officers found the spare key and footprints leading up the steps of the basement and went next door to speak with Clay. He stated that he heard a beep from next door and entered the home to see what was going on. When officers advised Clay that he was under arrest, he tensed up his body and began to resist. Officers had to carry Clay to the patrol vehicle due to him refusing to walk. While Clay was in the backseat, he spat several times. When the patrol vehicle arrived at booking, Clay refused to exit the vehicle and stated that he would have to be dragged out because he was too tired. Officers then pulled him out of the vehicle and carried him into booking.

37-year-old Jonathan Mattingly was booked after entering an apartment on Rep. John Lewis South without permission. Chloe Witmer advised that she received an email with a picture of her garage key fob and pass with the subject line reading “Staying with ya tonight!” That image was followed by a selfie of Mattingly in the bathroom of Chloe’s apartment that she uses as a short-term rental. One of Chloe’s employees went to the apartment and found a handwritten note signed by Mattingly on the ground. She then entered the apartment and said hello, to which Mattingly replied hello back. Mattingly then came out from the bedroom area and began talking to her as if nothing was wrong. When Mattingly started digging in a bag, the employee became uncomfortable and left the apartment. She later returned with the police, but Mattingly was no longer there. The property captured in the selfie was also missing from the apartment. Police recovered a pill bottle with Mattingly’s name and an address in Bardstown, Kentucky. Officers located an article detailing the 2022 arrest of Mattingly in Pikeville, Kentucky. The booking photo in the article and the photo from Mattingly’s email were used so Chloe and the employee could identify him. Officers contacted the Pikeville Police Department and were provided with Mattingly’s Kentucky driver’s license number. Mattingly was taken into custody for theft and aggravated burglary on February 6th.

18-year-old Kavel S. Pigrum was jailed on November 19th after officers were dispatched for a burglary in progress. When officers arrived, they observed the glass patio door had been shattered. They entered the apartment to ensure no one was inside. While clearing the apartment, they observed items thrown all around in disarray. The home belonged to Malachi Blackmith; his mother arrived while police were on the scene because she was notified that the alarm was going off. She also provided a location where Malachi’s phone was pinging. Officers put in a welfare check to that location and discovered North officers were already with Malachi and Pigrum. Before Malachi was arrested for unrelated charges, he showed police video footage of Pigrum throwing a rock at the patio door, shattering it. After the glass was shattered, Pigrum, along with two juveniles, went inside the apartment and began smashing items that were worth up to two thousand dollars. Malachi told police he believed Pigrum was looking for him due to a domestic incident involving him and Pigrum’s sister.

It was also reported that while North officers were taking Malachi into custody, Pigrum pulled up with multiple individuals, got out of the car, and ran towards officers. The officers commanded him to get back, but he refused and began throwing punches toward Malachi. During the “flurry” of punches, Pigrum hit an officer in the face, leaving a mark and causing swelling to his left eye. After the officer was hit, the fight was broken up, and Pigrum was placed in cuffs.
