A Jacksonville man is facing multiple charges in Onslow County and extradition to Georgia after warrants allege he accepted payments for trailers and services that were never provided.
Anthony Martin Walton, 53, was arrested on May 18 by the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office. According to warrants, Walton is charged with extradition/fugitive from another state, obtaining property by false pretenses, failing to work after being paid, and felony conversion.
A magistrate’s order dated May 5 lists a theft by deception case out of Georgia.
Warrants allege Walton accepted $19,819 from a victim on April 11, 2025, in exchange for goods that were never provided. Warrants also allege Walton accepted $8,965 from Christopher Lowery on June 6, 2025, as payment for a personalized trailer he did not build.
In another case, warrants allege Walton accepted $9,634 on Aug. 1, 2024, as payment for services related to building a personalized trailer, but the trailer was never built, and Walton avoided communication or explanation. Warrants also allege that on Sept. 4, 2025, Walton sold a trailer owned by another victim and did not provide the proceeds from the sale to the owner.
Walton is being held in the Onslow County Jail without bond. A court appearance is scheduled for May 19 in Onslow County.
