- Arrest warrants were requested for Michael Jason Godwin, 28, of Jefferson for tampering with a witness and fourth-degree theft. The charges stem from a reported theft of computers from 303 S. Grimmell Road Feb. 3. Roommates moved from the property, and Godwin told an officer the computers belonging to them were not present at his residence. Godwin contacted the ex-roommates, advising them that if criminal charges against him on another incident were dropped, he might be able to locate their computers. On Jan. 28, an officer was at the Godwin residence on an unrelated event, and the computers were present in plain sight at 303 S. Grimmell Road. The officer was given the computers by Godwin to return to the owners.
