In November of 2022, Butte County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) deputies and detectives began investigating multiple burglaries and thefts that had occurred in the Gridley area. During the investigation, detectives located evidence that gave them cause to believe Jonathan Haywood, age 34, was the individual committing the burglaries and thefts. Detectives and deputies determined Haywood was on active California State Parole.
On the evening of November 3, detectives contacted Haywood near Richvale. Haywood was placed under arrest without incident. During the arrest, detectives recovered property that was taken during a residential burglary. During the investigation, detectives located evidence that Haywood had committed at least two burglaries. A stolen vehicle and a stolen agriculture sweeper were also recovered during the investigation. Detectives located evidence Haywood had been in possession of the stolen vehicle and stolen sweeper prior to his arrest.
Haywood was arrested for multiple felony charges to include burglary, theft of a firearm, possession of stolen property, possession of a stolen vehicle, and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
