Guns among items found after McDonough police HQ theft

Three people were arrested after police found firearms and other items stolen from the McDonough Police Department inside a Jonesboro home.

Officers arrested Carlos V. Conesa, 25, Elvin D. Deleon, 26, and Charita S. Woullard, 28, on Tuesday, according to the Clayton County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators are still interviewing the three, but said they may be connected to the June 1 break-in at the McDonough Police Department.

On Tuesday morning, officers raided a house on King Street in Jonesboro after receiving information that items from the burglary were inside, McDonough Police Chief Preston Dorsey said.

Jonesboro Police officers set up a perimeter while the Clayton County Police SWAT team stormed the house, Jonesboro Major Tim Jessup said.

In addition to items taken in the burglary, police found drugs and several items they may link the three to other crimes, investigators said.

Deleon, of College Park, is being held in the Clayton County jail on charges of theft by receiving stolen property. He was arraigned Wednesday and given a $10,000 bond.

Conesa, who already had an outstanding warrant, was taken to the Henry County jail.

Woullard, of Marietta, is being held in the Clayton County jail on two counts of drug possession, according to jail records.

Woullard, of Marietta, was arraigned Wednesday morning and given a $5,000 bond.

She worked as a receptionist at Atlanta law firm Freedman & Sinowski. She has since been terminated, said Barbara Stone, a paralegal at the firm. Woullard’s Myspace page, which was updated last week, lists her mood as “untouchable” and says she is a mother.

Dorsey declined to discuss the suspects or what was taken during the burglary, saying it would jeopardize the investigation. He said additional search warrants will be served.

Jessup referred all additional questions to McDonough Police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, who are handling the investigation. The GBI declined to comment.

Burglars broke into the McDonough department on June 1 through a window in an administrative building and were able to access the evidence room, police said.
