Christopher Puckett

Kristy Kimball

Two Carthage residents are facing numerous charges related to the theft of motor vehicle parts and firearms.

Christopher Edward Puckett, 25, and Kristy Jean Kimball, 31, both of 251 Sleighbell Lane, Carthage, were arrested in late May by investigators with the Moore County Sheriff’s Office, according to a press release, in connection with several vehicle break-ins at businesses located in the West End area.

On May 21, the sheriff’s office received reports of numerous break-ins of motor vehicles located at Mark’s “The Shop.” The owner reported that someone had entered vehicles located at his business and removed parts from them. During the investigation, two other businesses, Cagle’s Auto Repair and Medleyanna’s, reported similar incidents had occurred at their businesses in West End.

Within hours of receiving the reports, according to the press release, investigators were led to the residence on Sleighbell Lane. There investigators recovered stolen property from Medleyanna’s and Mark’s “The Shop.” Investigators also located stolen property from Cagle’s Auto Repair at Integrity Recycling in Montgomery County, according to the release.

Puckett was arrested after the stolen property was discovered, and charged with 11 counts of felony breaking or entering a motor vehicle and 11 counts of misdemeanor larceny, according to the release.

On May 24, investigators also arrested Kimball, and charged her with 11 counts of felony breaking or entering a vehicle and 11 counts of misdemeanor larceny.

During the investigation, information was developed that linked Puckett and Kimball to the April 26 theft of four firearms from a residence located on Vass-Carthage Road. On May 26, Puckett and Kimball were charged with breaking and entering, larceny of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a firearm by felon.

Both were jailed, with Puckett receiving a bail of $250,000 and Kimball $10,000.

...both of 251 Sleighbell Lane, Carthage..livin' in sin! livin' in sin.

BTW, quite a few of 'law abiding' citizens on that road. Police have been out there to another residence nearby on MaNy occasions for domestic charges, among other things...

ok so im reading the story...then i read the comments...and im just wondering what "livin' in sin" has to do with anything....or the fact that the police have been out there to another residence on many occasions....what does that matter....really....seriously...

kgirl 2 years, 11 months ago

Because they live together and not married. Commonplace in today's society, I know, but mostly I wrote that because of a neighbor who is always on someone else's arse like a preacher, about them 'living in sin' and she and her husband are a major reason that police have been called out to this area. The cops have been to their residence too many times to count. Matters to me and the other people who live on that road. really.

The bad thing is that it really doesn't matter to many nowadays.

Aren't people tired of that sarcastic line yet "really, seriously". That should go away with "Gag me with a spoon" and "Rad".

They must have gotten some money from somewhere, they both look high as hades!

The pictures look to me like Christopher is overly concerned that Kristy has just overdosed. :)

This is very sad and disturbing at the least but let's don't forget these are two people here who have families that are probably in devastation and humilation. I say let's keep them in our prayers instead of judging them. We haven't walked in their shoes so we don't know what led them to where they are today. I am by no means saying their behavior was acceptable but where is compassion for people gone? Just saying

She's so hot... that's why her eyes are nearly closed, steam from all the hot water she's got herself into!

RmeMP 2 years, 11 months ago

@please- This is not sad and disturbing, this is awesome and a good day - two more pieces of feces off the street:) Maybe, just maybe, if we STOP praying for waste such as these two, and actually start DOING more to prevent them from reoffending (longer jail terms in my eyes) as often, then you wouldn't have to worry about us and our opinions! One more thing, you may actually be on to something with one of your sentences - I haven't walked in their shoes, you know why? Because if I were breaking into homes and businesses (having already been convicted of a felony beforehand on top of it...) my dad, mom, brother, aunt AND uncle would have ALL "deciplined" me LONG before the courts would have to. You want to feel bad for them? Go ahead, it looks like you have been doing that already - and look how good that's working out for you ;)

Allison 2 years, 11 months ago

I have no time or sympathy for a thief. And where there's a thief, there's a liar...everytime. I work hard for what I have. Nope, no sympathy coming from me on this one. Stealing just ain't right. Who's betting on how long it'll be until we see their names in the paper again after they get their little smack on the hand? They have no respect for other's property which isn't likely to change anytime soon, and they are already out on bail. Pretty dadgum sad.

tlcd76 2 years, 11 months ago

@ Allison actually they are not out on bail and will not be getting out on bail, Chris is most likely getting much more than a smack on the hand and seeing as Kristy is currently on probation she is looking to pull down some time also. Moore County Sheriff's spent a lot of time working on getting these two off the streets, especially Chris. @ Please I am all for compassion but I know these two personally and the only one that deserves your compassion is Kristy, she got herself involved in a bad situation that she didn't know how to get out of and compounded it by following Chris's lead, Chris knew exactly what he was doing and sadly had only been out of prison since Oct therefore showing he learned nothing from his previous experience and upbringing and family life is not an excuse for either of them as they come from good families.

Sidenote to correct an error in this article, Chris's bond is $225,000 and Kristy's is $20,000

Emerald 2 years, 11 months ago

Compassion is great, however, Kristy deserves very little in this situation. I know her too and she knew exactly what she was doing and that it was wrong. She should be held accountable for her actions. She burned a lot of people in the past few months, people who thought they were helping her. She has been selfish and destructive and deserves every consequence thrown her way. As for Chris, he should've stayed behind bars to begin with. Sheriffs Dept., thanks for your hard work on this one!

RmeMP - Well said! Now if we can save a few more tax payer dollars by cutting off cable TV and/or other "fluff" to the prisons and turn them back into a punishment these two might not return. Although I do endorse education at the prisons, why are we paying for cable TV and "recess" equipment? Why aren't these people being required to pay a debt to society with some form of labor? Oh, we might violate their civil rights? Well they might not have been in prison had they not violated someone else's civil rights. Let them serve on a chain gang or a prison farm to help offset the costs of their sentence and not burden law abiding persons with their upkeep. And for the worst of the worst, there are plenty of swamps in the state that need cleaning out. heh heh heh

silentbob 2 years, 11 months ago

Just one comment it is not the prison officials fault that these and other inmates lives are as easy as they are in prison it is the attorneys that are always filling some law suit about bed space and these inmates civil rights. I think most of you would agree when you go to prison you give up most of your rights. I am not saying we should be inhuman but the punishment does need to be alot tougher. I am not crazy about spending alot of tax payers money on education in prison either other than maybe a skill or a trade type education. We have spent enough money on them already in the public education system that they had an oppurtunity to get and chose not to.

I have an idea in reference to silentbob and oldspook -

I have heard alot of complaining from people who say that there aren't enough volunteers cleaning up the oil in the gulf region; I have heard alot of complaining from people who say that our prisons our overcrowded - TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS FOUR!!!

Anyone connecting the dots?! lol
