Lake Wales, Florida – At approximately 7:00 am, on Sunday, January 17, 2016, the PCSO Emergency Communications Center was notified of an ATV crash in the parking lot at the Lake Wales Alliance Church, 325 Buckmoore Road, Lake Wales. Fire and Medic units responded and determined 23-year-old Jarrod Schiff of Lake Wales was deceased.
The initial investigation indicates that sometime during the nighttime hours, Schiff was riding his side by side ATV in the citrus grove located directly south of the crash scene. The ATV was equipped with an enclosed metal frame passenger compartment with a plastic roof. It also had two bucket type seats equipped a with lap and shoulder safety restraint system. ATV tracks were found exiting the grove onto the church property where the crash occurred. The ATV appears to have entered the church property near the southeast corner and then proceeded west to the parking lot area. The Parking lot has paved roadways with grass parking spaces. The ATV appears to have entered one of the grass parking areas near the southwest corner of the church and began to spin the ATV around doing a “doughnut.” After spinning approximately 360 degrees the ATV rolled over ejecting the Schiff who became pinned underneath.
Schiff did not appear to be utilizing the safety restraint system and was not wearing any type of protective head gear at the time of the crash. There was no evidence of other vehicles or persons being involved in this crash. Impairment and distracted driving to not appear to be factors in the crash at this time. No charges are currently anticipated.
A large portion of the church parking lot was closed for a short time, but was re-opened prior the beginning of services

PCSO Homicide Detectives Arrest Winter Haven Man for First Degree Murder in Homicide of James “Terry” Yelvington
On Thursday, January 14, 2016, PCSO Homicide detectives obtained an arrest warrant and placed into custody 54-year-old Alfred Ranard Jenkins, whose last known address was 895 13th Court NE in Winter Haven, for First Degree Murder and other charges in the homicide of Terry Yelvington. Jenkins has an extensive criminal history (see below) and was a coworker of Yelvington’s.
“Alfred Jenkins drove to Terry Yelvington’s house with a vendetta. This convicted felon, who has been in and out of jail in four different states, and to state prison for violent crimes, blamed this hard-working, honest family man for getting arrested and fired, and because of that, he brutally and senselessly murdered Terry Yelvington. Alfred Jenkins is a cruel and dangerous man, and I hope he is never, ever released from prison.” – Sheriff Grady Judd
According to the affidavit, on the morning of August 11, 2015, the Lake Alfred Police Department responded to 735 Todhunter Way South in the city of Lake Alfred in reference to a person who had been shot. LAPD officers located the victim, Terry Yelvington, deceased from gunshot wounds, laying in the grass beside his driveway. LAPD contacted PCSO for assistance, and a joint investigation began. An autopsy concluded that Yelvington’s cause of death was gunshot wound to the head, and the manner of death was homicide.
During the joint investigation, detectives interviewed neighbors, one of whom reported seeing a dark blue or black SUV leaving Yelvington’s driveway that morning. Video surveillance was obtained from a nearby residence in Lake Alfred, which showed a dark SUV traveling east on Thelma Street towards the crime scene that morning. The SUV appeared to be a late 90s to early 2000 model GMC Jimmy or Chevrolet Blazer. Detectives also received a tip from a witness who saw the suspect vehicle that morning, and identified the suspicious SUV as a Chevy Blazer. Detectives also consulted with a local auto dealer who confirmed the vehicle in the video surveillance was likely a Chevy Blazer or GMC Jimmy.
During the investigation, detectives contacted the victim’s employer, Packaging Corporation of America (PCA). Through interviews with supervisors and employees, detectives learned that the victim was the president of the employees’ United Steelworkers union, and as a part of his duties he made recommendations on employee discipline and/or termination. An ex-employee, Alfred Jenkins, was mentioned by several coworkers. Detectives learned Jenkins was terminated in 2009 for misconduct related to his role as union treasurer. After Jenkins’ termination, Yelvington learned Jenkins had stolen union funds and forged union checks for his own personal gain. Yelvington reported the crime, which resulted in a criminal investigation, and Jenkins’ arrest in 2011 for grand theft.
Detectives learned that Jenkins drives a dark blue 2000 Chevy Blazer. Detectives responded to Jenkins’ residence (2216 Avenue B SW, Winter Haven), and although Jenkins was not home at that time, they did observe a dark blue Chevy Blazer parked in the driveway. Detectives took photos of the SUV, which they later showed to one of the witnesses, who positively identified it as the suspect vehicle.
On September 11, 2015, PCSO detectives served a search warrant at Jenkins’ home, which at that time was 2216 Avenue B SW in Winter Haven. During the search, detectives found a drawstring bag containing rolling papers, a glass smoking pipe, and a plastic baggie containing marijuana. They also found six street signs (24th Street SW, two Executive Road, and two Avenue B SW). Jenkins was subsequently arrested for Possession of Marijuana and Paraphernalia and three counts Felony Petit Theft (3rd or Subsequent Offense) for the theft of the street signs. He was released from jail on October 10, 2015.
During a post-Miranda interview, Jenkins admitted to knowing Terry Yelvington from PCA, but denied going to Lake Alfred anytime during the previous month or on August 11, 2015.
Detectives continued to interview Jenkins’ acquaintances, one of whom told them that prior to Jenkins’ September arrest, Jenkins said the police were “coming after him,” and that he was worried about the fact that the police have his truck on video and that he (Jenkins) had his phone with him in the truck. Jenkins told the acquaintance that he had three firearms: a .380 Beretta, a Remington, and a 12-gauge pump shotgun. Jenkins said he had to get rid of one of the firearms, and that he also “cleaned” it, but he didn’t specify which one.
After Jenkins’ September arrest, he spoke with the same acquaintance, and told the acquaintance that he (Jenkins) went to Yelvington’s home, where he had a physical altercation with the victim in his garage because Yelvington had gotten him fired and arrested and owed him money. Jenkins said then he “went blank.” The acquaintance also told detectives that one of Jenkins’ girlfriends had Jenkins’ guns at her house.
On January 14, 2016, detectives served two search warrants and seized ammunition matching shell casings found at the scene of the homicide. They responded to 895 13th Court NE, Winter Haven, and took Jenkins into custody without incident. The investigation is ongoing in regards to items seized during the search warrants.
Jenkins was booked into the Polk County Jail on the following charges:
* First Degree Murder (FSS 782.04) (F-C)
* Armed Robbery (FSS 812.13(2)(A)) (F-L)
* Possession of a Firearm/Ammunition by a Convicted Felon (FSS 790.23(1)(A)) (F-2)
* Tampering with Evidence (FSS 918.13) (F-3)
He remains in the jail on no bond.

Through the investigation, detectives learned three black men with Caribbean accents had arrived at the residence prior to the shooting. Campos, the only survivor, was sleeping in a bedroom when he heard Washington talking with the three suspects. An altercation occurred between Washington and one of the suspects. One of the suspects entered the bedroom and shot Campos in the face. Campos told detectives he pretended to be dead and then heard multiple gunshots.
Detectives learned a white, work-style van had been seen at the residence prior to the shooting and seen leaving the residence afterwards. Detectives obtained a video from a local business which captured the images of a white commercial van seen in the general area at the time. The van was described as a newer model Ford Transit Connect.
Detectives received information about a vehicle matching the description of the suspect vehicle traveling westbound on Memorial Boulevard near Lakeland Hills Boulevard seen the morning of the shooting.
