“Carny” Andrew Thomas Jackson
A man on Redding’s most wanted list was arrested Monday in Roseville.
Andrew Thomas Jackson is marking his 36th birthday today in custody after being arrested Monday on an outstanding warrant from Redding Police and Shasta County. Jackson was due to appear in Shasta County Courthouse to face sentencing on burglary charges, and did not show up. He appeared on the Shasta County’s Most Wanted list on Tuesday, but had already been picked up by Roseville Police on Monday.
The Roseville Spring Carnival at the Galleria Mall ran from last Wednesday until Sunday at 10 pm. Jackson was found by Roseville police at the scene of the carnival the day after it closed. His arrest report gives his occupation as carnival worker, so he likely worked there for the 5 days and was perhaps still on site working with the clean up crew. Jackson is a resident of North Highlands in neighboring Sacramento County.
In an earlier incident, Jackson was arrested stealing a motorcycle from Harrison’s Marine in Redding.
Jackson made the news in Redding in 2010 when he was arrested trying to steal a motorcycle. The Redding Record Searchlight reported on August 23, 2010 that he was caught trying to take a motorcycle from the fenced yard at Harrison’s Marine and RV on Twin View Bl. in North Redding. Someone had spotted him pushing it through the yard and called police. He admitted to breaking into a shed and taking the bike. Police were investigating him at the time for other area burglaries.
