| Stolen vehicle and property recovered in Milo |
Over $3,200 in stolen
property was recovered during a traffic stop in Milo Friday afternoon.
According to a press release from the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office, deputies
stopped a truck in Milo when they noticed a wanted person driving in a Dodge
Pickup. The driver, who has been identified as 26 year old Christopher Jones of
Nevada, was arrested on multiple misdemeanor warrants. During the traffic stop
deputies found what they believed to be stolen tires and rims on the pickup
that had been reported missing from another jurisdiction just last week.
The
Sheriff declined to comment if Jones was the suspect of the theft, but said he
was glad his office was able to return someone’s stolen property to them. “Stolen
property is hard to track down, so it is always nice when we can return items
to the owner,” said Sheriff Jason Mosher. Jones was being held in the Vernon
County Jail Friday on a $1000 bond.
