Kellie Allen, Brian Manning, Both Loosers Arrested

Splendora area couple went to jail together over the weekend, after the woman called 9-1-1 to get police to their home, despite knowing her boyfriend was a wanted felon, and then lied to responding officers to protect him.
Around 2 p.m. Saturday, a Precinct 4 Deputy Constable responded to a disturbance call at a residence on Fostoria Road. Upon arrival, the deputy was met by Kellie Allen, who said she was the reportee. A neighbor then told the deputy two men were hiding in a pickup in back of the house, and he thought it was because they had warrants. The deputy then asked Allen who was on the property and she claimed nobody was there, aside from herself, her mother, and her niece. The deputy asked Allen several more times, and she repeatedly denied anyone else was there. Allen said she didn’t know the two men on location when she reported the disturbance, and furthermore, they were gone.
But the deputy did not give up. He obtained the homeowner’s consent to look around, and he found a suspect he recognized as accused child predator Brian Manning hiding in the bathroom of a travel trailer behind the primary residence. The deputy asked the suspect his name and the man identified himself as “Sean” Manning. When confronted, Manning admitted he lied because he knew he had a felony warrant for Sexual Assault of a Child. That child was also in the travel trailer with Manning.
He said his girlfriend, Kellie Allen, told him to hide in the bathroom when she called the police. Kellie Allen admitted she knew Manning was a convicted felon.
Adding to Manning’s legal problems, the deputy saw a rifle in plain view near the door of the trailer. Manning admitted placing it there, saying he had it in case someone tried to steal from him. Manning also admitted he had multiple felony convictions (he was unable to recall the exact number), which made it illegal for him to possess the firearm.
Brian Eugene Manning, 28, of 9125 Fostoria Road in Cleveland is charged with second-degree felony Sexual Assault of a Child (warrant); third-degree felony Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by Felon; and three misdemeanor warrants for Failure to Appear; Theft $50 $500; and Capias Pro-Fine. Manning remains jailed with bond set at $400,750.
Kellie Marie Allen, 32, of 9125 Fostoria Road in Cleveland is charged with third-degree felony Hinder Apprehension or Prosecution of Known Felon. Allen was released on $3,000 bond.
