Jenelle Evans' Husband Courtland Rogers Wanted By Police Following Illegal Pawn
Jenelle Evans' husband Courtland Rogers has found himself in hot water once again. Just months after he was released from prison, Rogers reportedly stole jewelry from the woman he was staying with -- and pawned the items in North Carolina.
After taking the jewelry, including three gold family rings, from Katie McMillan, Rogers, 28, he visited a local pawn shop where he used his own ID to sell the items and pocket the cash. Once she realized the jewelry was missing, McMillan filed a theft report with the Wrightsville Beach Police Department. A short time later, her family rings were found at the pawn shop where Rogers had taken them, and since he had used his ID, he was immediately linked to the crime.
Detective Matthew Monroe was assigned to Rogers' case and has confirmed to Radar Online that there is a warrant out for his arrest in regard to the incident.
McMillan has also spoke with Radar about Rogers' theft.
“I was trying to help him get into a treatment program and had even talked with a doctor. He was telling me he wanted to get sober and get away from drugs. I figured out he didn’t want any help after a few days. In the last text he sent me, he said he was going to pick up his money. That’s when he left my house and never came back. I now know he meant [he was] going to pawn my stuff,” McMillan told Radar Online on Feb. 25. “He knew I was going out of town the next day and he couldn’t stay at my house. I think he was hoping I wouldn’t notice my stuff was gone before I left. I definitely noticed it was gone shortly after. It was the stuff I considered sentimental. Two of the rings he did take were actually the most sentimental things I own. They are both rings from each of my grandmothers.”
McMillan explained that after finding out that Rogers had a history of pawning things, she immediately called the police.
During his marriage to Evans, Rogers, who has admited to being a heroin addict, and even recently released graphic footage of his drug use, pawned a few of her things, including a television they once shared.
According to McMillan, she later found out that Rogers' own mother had gone to pawn shops in the past, letting them know not to allow Rogers to pawn anything.
If he is found guilty, which, given the evidence, is very likely, Rogers could be charged with felony larceny, and for Rogers, who is a regular offender, that may result in jail time.
“He told me if he got charged with one more felony, he would get an automatic 20 years in prison and be considered a ‘habitual felon,'" McMillan added.
