A woman, who was part of a multi-jurisdictional theft ring back in 2022, was sentenced to probation, ordered to pay restitution and was banished from the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, after a sentence was passed in Chattooga County Superior Court.  Kristie Nicole Cobb Carter pleaded guilty to stealing a trailer from a Chattooga County contractor. 

The theft happened back in 2022, when Carter was arrested and charged with the theft.  Her subsequent arrest was after an investigation by authorities in Alabama and Georgia into thefts that had taken place in DeKalb County, Alabama along with Chattooga, Walker and Dade Counties in Georgia.  Also arrested at the time were Jake Ryan Carter and Tammy Lynn Walters.

In December of 2022, Fort Payne Police, along with the Dade County Sheriff’s Office, Trenton Police Department, Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit Drug Task Force, Summerville Police Department, Trion Police Department, and Rainsville Police Department all went to a residence in Rainsville and arrested the trio in connection with multiple thefts.

According to Kristie Cobb Carter’s sentence, she has to pay restitution for the trailer, a $259.50 fine and can not longer come to Chattooga, Walker, Dade or Catoosa Counties.
