5/7/07 -- Crescent, OK - A Crescent woman orders cable services and is relieved of $227 in cash by greedy installer.
Seems that until recently Jerry Lee Jackson II, 25, was working as a contract cable installer for Pioneer Telephone.
On January 13th Jackson and another man were installing cable TV and DSL on behalf of Pioneer and Tri Star Communications in the home of Amy M. of Crescent.
According to court records, during the install Amy was called away to pick up her child at school due to an ice storm.
When Amy returned, and after the workers had left, she noticed $227 was missing from her purse. It just so happens that her purse was kept under a table next to where Jackson had installed a cable outlet.
Amy called police, who in turn contact Pioneer Telephone. Pioneer explained that the installers were actually employees of Tri Star.
When police contacted the owner of Tri Star, Todd Hoskins, he advised he would have the two employees report to the police station with him and that if necessary he would personally pay for a lie detector test to be performed on his employees to determine the truth.
When Hoskins arrived at the police station he gave the investigating officer $227 to be given to Amy. Hoskins stated he did not want his company's integrity jeopardized by actions of one of his employees.
After questioning, Jackson reportedly confessed to taking the money, stating he needed it for groceries.
last week, petit larceny charges were filed against Jackson in Logan County.
