SPRING HILL – Just when you think a criminal has climbed as high on the felonious ladder as possible, they go and do something that would baffle the minds of even the most despicable convicts.
We recently reported the Pasco County arrest of William and Jacqueline “Jackie” Perkins, after warrants were issued out of Hernando County on grand theft charges. (ORIGINAL REPORT)
As previously reported, William Perkins, 27, is currently facing 3-counts of driving on a suspended license (Involving injury or death) after killing 3-year-old Ava Thomas and injuring her mother, Lacey Thomas, and her brother Spencer Thomas.
While free on Bond, William made claims on social media that he was turning over a new leaf by going to church, and running his own business. Turns out, William and wife Jackie were in fact attending church at The Kingdom Hall (Jehovah Witness), located at 71040 Smithfield Ave, but their motives may not have been to find salvation.
According to reports, on Saturday, July 30th Jackie and William Perkins drove to the church around 11:00 a.m. where the couple stole a Husqvarna Chainsaw.
Officials say Flynn Colson, son Zachary Colson, and Church Elder, Peter DiLorenzo, all provided testimony that Jackie and William were responsible for the theft because they caught the incident on surveillance video.
During an interview with Deputy Vincent Mascitelli, DiLorenzo stated that he provided money to the couple on the day before the incident because they had nowhere to stay. Jackie and William were supposed to attend a meeting with DiLorenzo the following day but they cancelled - claiming that they were in the hospital. DiLorenzo surmised that they were avoiding the meeting because they had just stolen the chainsaw.
Mascitelli called William’s cell phone and asked if he would agree to meet. Mascitelli says he William sounded nervous and said he couldn’t meet because they were in Citrus County. During the conversation Mascitelli overheard Jacky in the background stating “Come up with an address in Citrus County for him.” William refused to meet and hung up the phone.
While in the presence of Mascitelli, William called DiLorenzo’s cell phone. Mascitelli answered and identified himself as a Sheriff’s Deputy but William quickly hung up again.
On August 11th the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office reported that Jackie and William were behind bars. One week later, Jackie and William were transported to Hernando County to face charges of Grand Theft. Both remain behind bars, held on a $2,000 bond.
Ironically, the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office has announced that formal charges have been filed against William’s Mother, Elizabeth Perkins, after a 2015 bank robbery in Floral City. Elizabeth is already in federal custody for her involvement in a Plant City bank robbery.

Wake up people, if we don’t hang them now, they will end up a hernando county commissioner….
ANY RELATION TO THE PERKINS THAT WERE IN THE SILVERTHORN INNCIDENT ? WHO INCIDENTALLY WERE ALSO INVOLVED IN POLICE CHASE AND THE CRASH THE ENDED IN MY FRIENDS YARD TOTALING 2 TRUCKS PARKED IN HER YARD…ON SPRINGHILL DR BETWEEN PINEHURST AND COBBLESTONE ?
Yes they are related.
bail should not be given for this and should be revoked for killing Ava… life in prison is not long enough for them
Scum! To just steel,kill ect toss them away!
Unbelievable what you will do when chasing for that next hit.
I’m Ava’s grannie she was 4 she turned 4 in January and if they would have stopped him and put him in jail for the other crimes my little blue eyed angel would still be here
My brother is going to hell for all the stress he has caused my family.. Id like to believe he deserves life in prison right along with Jackie.. Theyre both scum bags and deserve everything they get! And tom you couldve left my mother out of this.. Shes not a bad person. Shed give you her shirt off her back if you needed it!
Your mother would give you the shirt off of her back? Did she also steal the shirt from the 2 banks she robbed? Geesh she is as much of a loser as the kids.
I don’t believe “good” people rob banks. You act like that is no big deal. SMH
Your mother enabled these idiots and she is a poor example for everyone.
She’d give the shirt off the back? The steals and is a horrible person. Look at the stress she’s caused the various bank employees!
She deserves to rot in jail, just like your brother and his skanky *** wife.
Why dont you make a story about how the day my mother was taken from us he stole 3 flat screens, my dads welder and chainsaws and generator from my parents house… Then a week later busted a window out of their house broke in while Cameron’s son and dad were sleeping and stole my dads phone and money out of his wallet but… The charges were dropped according to jackie from her “lovely dad”
Tom - That’s Plant City Bank, not Polk.
Chesney Perkins - Since you’re talking here….not smart. Do you still have the red Acura that looks just like the car used in that bank robbery? Didn’t you benefit from the proceeds of that robbery? Something about $500.00 to keep your mouth shut about the money? Unclean Hands. Sounds like you are in it too. You were being evicted around that time also….$110,000. Did that pay your rent too?
Where is the $ Chesney Perkins?
See TBT July 13. Better $ave $ome for a lawyer.
Jackie still has the generator up for sale.

Starts right up & runs like a champ. I just put a tune up on her. Cleaned out carbonator, changed oil, flushed fuel tank and lines. Never have had any problems with her and like I said she starts up first pull and purrs like a kitten. You can contact me by FB. Serious inquiries only please and thank you.
Well, to be fair, that’s really not a church!! They don’t believe Jesus is the son of God!!!
wrong!!!……where do you get your info?…..maybe you should take in a meeting (open to the public) and correct your thinking on this matter.
I would say that robbing a church has to be the lowest rung on any ladder. Are these people natives or transplants? Either way, their recurring criminal behavior warrants the HCSO to monitor their every movement,
A family of low life felons, put them all in maximum security federal prison. People lock up your tools and cash or the Perkins clan will steal them when they are out doing time on chain gang working on the highways and byways
William was going to church! by that family’s actions they don’t even know who God is but they certainly know Lucifer
holy piles of crap!
Florida Statute 903.0471 give a judge the authority to revoke a previous issued bond if they find that there is probable cause that the defendant has committed a new crime while on pre trial release..Grow a pair judge and follow the law
One can only hope that the DA and Judge will finally wake up and put them all away for as long as possible. If not then we need to elect a DA and Judge that will.
Mascitelli ? This jerk off master has zero credibility.Even dirt bag Perkins will walk on this one when a mediocre public defender just has to review Mascitelli’s testimony history.Get rid of this disgrace to HCSD,and then go after Perkins…
Well, aren’t they just special? Put their lazy, thieving, lying lowlife a $$es in jail for about 10 years. Give douchebag William 25 to life for killing the little girl. Mommy and Jackie can wait patiently for him panhandling on the corner till he gets out! Lol. What a bunch of loser lowlife scum.
Right on Vern!
Now wait just a min Deputy Vincent Mascitelli Did everyone forget about him ? AKA Deputy Beat OFF ! Yep MR. Beat off in HCSO car while on duty Why is he still with HCSO ?? He should also be jobless. How can you beat your meat and not get any pudding. I guess HCSO also has the buddy system in place.
he (Deputy Vincent Mascitelli) didnt leave any evidence for the csi to find so it was just hear say (sp)
Tom Lemons you need to do a story about deputy mascitelli Jackie William momma Perkins and Tyler now that would be a good one !! He gets into trouble June 20 2016 for beating off and now all this not to mention Jackie has already been to prison and had her daughter in prison. The daughter she loves so much that she don’t take care of and only sees every now and again. You should go through JACKIES Facebook page she puts her life on there she was even involved in that story about ALICIA WEIRHEISER and Brent Courtney Jackie has been the news someone PLEASE do there homework and lock these people away they dont need kids and they don’t need to be around society they r good for no one how is this girl not back in prison already !! And speaking of the Courtney kid he is in prison why isn’t Alicia or the father who was involved in the high speed chase who also works in the system as a prison guard THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL CONNECTED and I agree how does the cop beat off on duty in a cop car and only get suspension of 24 hours and bullshit $470 in wages ..big deal I’m sure mamma Perkins can spot him with some of her bank robbery funds she did Jackie and William she gave them the money for the car William was driving (he says test driving but if you look on Facebook they had already had the car took pictures of the car and been driving the car) I believe it was a jag Jackie says a car they continued to drive around after killing a baby girl how sick that women is sick I feel sorry for her daughter poor little girl she needs to never know Jackie
Deputy Vincent Mascitelli AKA Beat it! you are a true embarrassment to HCSO you should be removed from service there is just something about you that leads me to think you do more than just BEAT IT !. As for the Perkins Pack you should be locked away. Such a waste of life you 3 are.
@dEBBIE - there is no relation between Tyler Perkins, and the Perkins in this story. They just have the same last name, but they’re all losers. Jackie posts everything on Facebook and tries to paint a perfect picture of her life. Karma`s a mo+h€®fu¢k€®. I told Tyler Perkins to leave me alone because he kept messaging me on Facebook, and I didn’t even know him I only knew his sister, but he proceeded to make SEVENTEEN different Facebook pages. Everytime I would block him, he would make a different page and send me a request. He’s a creep. I don’t really know Jackie, but I have talked to her a few times, and I believe that she has no conscious and no remorse for any of her actions. They say that you are who you hang around with and so William is probably as horrible as her.
About Mascitelli, If he was truly innocent of the charges,and without any witness,or physical evidence,why is he not appealing this episode? His testimony on other cases were borderline perjury at least.He is a states attorney worst nightmare on the stand. Guess Al will probably make him. head detective in the rubber gun squad……
A little insight. There is a Perkins out there doing very well for himself. Samuel Perkins is a good man. An honorable veteran and a providing father. You wont hear mention of him because hes relocated to most likely avoid all of this negativity. Its a shame his last name is now infamous in the town he grew up in. I used to come on here for local news…
Deputy Vincent Mascitelli, DiLorenzo stated that he provided money to the couple on the day before the incident because they had nowhere to stay. OK let me get this right he is just going around giving money to bad people ? or was this to finish the Beat off he messed up on. Or was it to pay for the chain saw? I just don’t get it some way Beat off is into getting his hands dirty. and it is not helping good people. yea he has do some good things for people. however he is leaning on ending up in jail also.
Must be the name Perkins, even the Perkins restaurants are going out of business.
Jackie is out on bond but apparently william is still in the slammer
The family tree should have been cut down long ago.
And the crime goes on again how long before Deputy Beat off is in the headlines again ???
dad’s been in jail at the same time as his son….. everyone needs to take a stand… call the sheriff for blocking his info killing Ava…the statue he used wasn’t did legally…. call the state attorney… before more folks get killed
To The Watcher - it was church elder Peter Dilorenzo who gave them money. Not the sheriff.
Thanks for that info Mike. but why would they Steel from a Church that is Very Low.
because their lower then **** he killed my grand daughter and that doesnt bother them do you really think stealing from a church would and as long as the law keeps letting them go they’ll keep breaking the law they has long arrest records he hit my daughter and 3 grand babies and didn’t call 911 they would get on here and Facebook and talk as if it was just a simple accident Ava was 4 the whole family is shit and you have his sister on her acting like her mother is such a good person they all need to be under the jail and that would be enough but at least they could hurt anyone else or break any more laws
Great, the trash strikes again. I’m sure most people here remember how they came on here and defended him after he killed that young girl. Then they take money from a church as charity and repay it by stealing from that church that very night.
You know, I am middle aged, oit of shape and mu reflexes are garbage but I would still pay for some time in a room alone with this peice of crap.
Sounds like the whole family needs some karmic relief. We can hope…
No neither FHP or HCSO are capable of doing a decent investigation. Isn’t that special?
