North Jackson Rotarian Steve Orlansky presents the JPD Precinct 4 Officer of the Quarter recognition to JPD Officer Antoinette Clemons during the Rotary Club of North Jackson’s June 15, 2021, meeting. The Rotary Club recognizes a JPD Precinct 4 Officer each quarter to show our support for JPD’s protection of our community and Precinct 4 because it covers most of North Jackson. Officer Clemons was patrolling the Olive Garden area on I-55 and noticed some men gathered behind the restaurant. Upon further investigation, she realized that they were there to steal a motorcycle that someone was selling by test-driving it. One man was arrested on a felony charge of attempted vehicle theft and two other men were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit vehicle theft. Thanks to the quick thinking of Officer Clemons, a suspect was arrested and an attempted theft was stopped.
