According to the report, the alleged victim contacted Jonesboro police on March 25, 2026, to report a residential burglary at a home on West Nettleton. The alleged victim told officers a surveillance camera from March 22, 2026, showed her ex-boyfriend, Winters, entering the residence.

Police said the video showed Winters entering the home and staying there for about two hours. After exiting, lights could be seen turning on in the garage, according to the report. Investigators said Winters then entered through the garage door, closed it behind him and backed his vehicle closer to the house.

After opening the rear hatch of his vehicle, Winters was seen walking back toward the residence and returning to the car with the victim’s property, according to police. Officers said he then loaded the items into the vehicle.

The report states the stolen items included a spare set of house keys and a garage door opener, which investigators said suggested a possible intent to re-enter the home later.

Police also said records confirmed a valid no-contact order was active at the time, protecting the victim from Winters being at the premises. The report noted this followed a previous incident on March 5, 2026, when Winters was arrested for a domestic-related charge involving the same victim and was served with a no-contact order naming the victim as the protected party.

Winters was booked on charges of residential burglary, a Class B felony; theft of property, a felony; and violation of a no-contact order.

Special Judge Barbara Halsey set Winters’ bail at $150,000.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
