Citizens help Greene County Sheriff capture suspected thieves

(From the Greene County Sheriff's Office)

While you were sleeping. Two more thieves were arrested for breaking into cars and booked into the Greene County jail.

Just after midnight on 11/14/2017, a resident in the area of the 1900 block of west Sexton noticed a suspicious vehicle, a loud truck with lights across the cab in the neighborhood and called 911. 

A number of deputies were close by and responded. Deputy Weiss located Jeffrey Hill was going through a car parked at an address on Sexton and detained him. While doing so, the truck noted in the original call attempted to leave the area. Hill claimed he was looking for his friend’s vehicle and thought this one was it. Hill was found to have drugs in his possession as well as a check that belonged to the vehicle owner in his pocket.

Deputy Adams located the truck and contacted the driver, Misty Dunlap. The truck was not insured and had no license plates. There was a street sign in the back, from the 1700 block of N. Old Orchard Road, Springfield. Dunlap was arrested for the registration violations and possession of the stolen street sign.

Quick response on the part of the deputies and vigilant neighbors helped to catch these thieves before they were able to get very far. Teamwork with the community is paying off.
