TOPEKA, Kan. — Three young men were booked into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections within minutes of one another Tuesday evening in connection with the same theft warrant, according to jail booking records.
Joseph Marcellus Schrempp Jr., 18; Eithen Lee Roy Folsom, 19; and Jovan Jose Guadalupe, 18, were booked between 7:30 and 7:45 p.m. on July 28. All three booking entries reference warrant 2026-23181 and list an allegation of theft of less than $1,500 from a building. The arrests were listed as no-bond bookings.
Schrempp was booked first at approximately 7:30 p.m., followed by Folsom at 7:40 p.m. and Guadalupe at 7:45 p.m., according to the records.
Folsom faces an additional allegation of interference with law enforcement under unknown circumstances, a misdemeanor, according to his booking information.
The matching warrant number, identical theft allegation and closely spaced booking times indicate the arrests are connected to the same alleged incident, although authorities have not yet publicly released details describing what was allegedly taken, the location of the reported theft or the circumstances leading to the arrests.
The booking agency is identified in the jail records by agency code KS0890000.
Folsom has appeared in Shawnee County booking records previously. Records show he was booked April 13 on allegations including felony interference with law enforcement and criminal damage to property. A separate booking entry from that date also lists an allegation of domestic battery.
No additional charges were listed for Schrempp or Guadalupe in the July 28 booking records provided.
This is a developing story. Additional information may become available as law enforcement releases details surrounding the case or as court records are filed.
All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
