Pittsburg Kansas man arrested in connection with a stolen vehicle

 According to the Pittsburg Kansas Police Department, at approximately 4:00 p.m Friday, Pittsburg Police were dispatched to a residence in the 700 block of E. 10th St., in Pittsburg, in reference to a report of a stolen motor vehicle. The victim reported their 2018 Jeep Compass had been stolen from their residence sometime between 11:00 and 11:30 p.m. the previous night.

Early Tuesday morning at approximately 1:50 a.m. an officer was near the intersection of US 69 Hwy. and E. 520th Ave. conducting checks on business properties when they observed the stolen Jeep Compass traveling westbound on E. 520th Ave. from that intersection. The officer recognized the vehicle as having been reported stolen, turned around, and began to follow the Jeep, calling in their location to Dispatch.

The Jeep pulled into the driveway of a residence, located in the 700 block of E. 520th Ave., and three occupants exited the vehicle: two female passengers and one male driver, who was later identified as 29-year-old Matthew N. Grassi, of Pittsburg. All three occupants were detained until Deputies from the Crawford County Sheriff's Office arrived on scene to assume control of the investigation.

Grassi was subsequently arrested for felony possession of stolen property, and was transported to the jail at the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office, where he is being held without bond.
