On Nov. 10, the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office arrested Parker Godwin Britt, 26, of Conway. His charges are stemming from an incident that occurred on November 5 and 10 in the Conway and Murfreesboro area.

Britt was charged with two counts each of breaking and entering, felony possession of stolen goods, and felony larceny. He was placed in the Northampton County Detention Center with a $ 38,500 secured bond and made his first court appearance on Nov. 12.
