She filed in February, and said her refund has already come and gone. out on bond Lt. Huey Thornton, a Montgomery police spokesman, named Clayton as a "person of interest" in the case last week, saying that detectives learned Clayton was known to spend time at Timmons' Wayne Street home. Jail officials were not aware of Clayton's possible connection to the homicide or the warrants until the following day, when his fingerprints revealed his true identity.

By then, he'd been let out on a $500 bond. Clayton's misdemeanor marijuana charge was upgraded to a felony once jail officials discovered he had been previously convicted of drug charges under the name Antonio Parks, Marshall said. Parks was one of six names Clayton was known to use. "He now has yet another charge on him," Marshall said. Also facing charges is the lieutenant at the jail responsible for letting Kenner out of jail after serving just five months of his life sentence.

"The investigation into that incident is complete," Marshall said. "She will officially be brought up on charges, but. the charges are still pending." The deputy released Kenner, who was awaiting a transfer to state prison, after receiving a teletype from the Department of Corrections ordering his release on a parole violation charge. Not realizing he had other charges for which he'd been convicted and sentenced, she let him go. The sheriff declined to name the deputy until the charges are filed, but said she is a longtime employee.

"Normally she does a good job," Marshall said. "She just made a mistake."

Walker, Miles and Riley posted bond for Clayton, 27, on April 7 after he had been arrested on a misdemeanor marijuana charge, Marshall said. They allegedly did so knowing Clayton had given deputies a false name, Martez Giles.

Because of the false name, jail officials were not aware that Clayton had warrants for his arrest in Montgomery and Autauga counties. He also is wanted for questioning in the Feb. 2 slaying of 73-year-old John Tim-mons in his Montgomery home.
