Authorities say Parsons stole an Amazon Firestick and two firearms from a home on Ashbrook Road near Statesville on November 29th, 2018.
According to investigators, the victim noticed the Firestick was being used to access his Netflix account when programs he had not viewed were displayed.
Netflix and Amazon provided investigators with the internet protocol address used to access and view the programs. Detectives sent a search warrant to the Internet Service Provider to identify the victim.
Jakob Parsons was identified as a suspect, while detectives were waiting for the search warrant results, by a report from the victim’s neighbor, who returned home to find Parsons on the property.
Results of the search warrant confirmed the Amazon Firestick was used at Parsons’ residence in Western Iredell County.
Parsons was arrested on January 28th, 2019, and given a $5,000 secure bond.
