Bartow County law enforcement officers booked several people into the county jail last week on charges ranging from kidnapping to drug trafficking and aggravated assault.
On October 24th, U.S. Corrections booked 48-year-old John Amos Hurst of Cartersville into the jail on a warrant issued October 12th for kidnapping.
On October 26th, Bartow-Cartersville Drug Task Force agents booked 41-year-old William Joseph Henson of Bartow County on October 11th warrants for robbery by force and aggravated battery. Agents later charged him with felony violation of probation.
That same day, task force agents also booked 54-year-old Anthony Lynn Morris of Bartow County for trafficking in illegal drugs.
On October 27th, Bartow County deputies booked 38-year-old Kimberly Dawn Mulkey at her residence on Old Alabama Road for aggravated assault and battery. A man at the home told deputies Mulkey woke him, approached him with a double-bladed axe, and struck him with the handle, injuring his arms. He then left the house and waited outside. Mulkey said she only woke him to ask for a cigarette and a lighter. She denied using an axe or causing any injuries and said she briefly went to another room to get dressed. Deputies found the axe in a trash can and a chair positioned as the man described.
Also on October 27th, deputies booked 45-year-old Robert Johnathan McCrary of Bartow County on 17 charges stemming from incidents between September 7th, 2024, and March 21st, 2025. Those charges include three counts of criminal damage to property in the second degree, three counts of felony theft by taking, two counts of burglary, one count of simple battery, six counts of entering a motor vehicle with intent to commit a crime, and two counts of felony failure to appear.
On October 28th, deputies booked 53-year-old Penny Michelle Agan-Coffman into the jail on an October 11th warrant for robbery by force.
