Clair County warrant charging him with a class C felony of
theft/stealing-value is $500 or more but less than $25,000. The charge
stems from an investigation that started on June 13 when a St. Clair
County deputy was on routine patrol near Collins. The deputy observed a
stranded motorist pulled in a driveway alongside Highway 54, across the
road from Mike's Wrecker Service. The deputy stopped to assist and two
people, Burton and William Dane, 44, Flemington, were identified. The
registration information from the vehicle was obtained and the deputy
cleared the scene and continued patrolling. A follow up investigation by
the deputy revealed evidence a stealing had occurred.
