COVINGTON, KY (FOX19) - Detectives from the Covington Police Department have recovered three quarters of a million dollars in stolen property from a Cash-In Pawn that is believed to have come from shoplifting rings in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky areas.

The items taken include Crest Whitening Strips, Extenze male enhancement drugs, Oral-B and other power tooth brushes, and sporting goods apparel.

The stolen property was found after investigators obtained a search warrant for the business on January 12. Investigators say many of the stolen items still had price tags on them. The property came from big box stores like Dick's Sporting goods and Wal-Mart. Some of the stolen goods were from private residences.

COVINGTON, KY (FOX19) - A man who was the last person to be seen with a missing Florence teenager had his parole deferred for two years.

Jacob Bumpass won't be considered for parole again until January of 2013.

Bumpass was the last person to be seen with missing teenager Paige Johnson, who has been missing since Sept. 23, 2010. He is not facing charges in connection with her disappearance. Her family testified at his last parole hearing in November that he gave her alcohol the night she disappeared.

Bumpass has been behind bars since October 2010 on a parole violation for a theft charge.

COVINGTON, KY (FOX19) - A Kenton County man accused of getting a 2-year-old child drunk pleaded guilty to first degree criminal abuse Tuesday and a sentence of 90 months was recommended.

Raymond Jackson, 23, is accused of encouraging his own stepdaughter in May of 2010 to drink a combination of Gin and iced tea, which caused her to pass out. Police say the child's blood alcohol level was measured at 0.25. That is over three times the legal limit for an adult in Kentucky. Her condition was so serious; she was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital for treatment. He is charged with criminal abuse of a child. The child did recover.

In June, Jackson was in a Kenton County courtroom where the judge ordered Jackson to stay away from his stepdaughter.

After the incident, Jackson was taken to the Kenton County Detention Center and was held on a $10,000 bond.
