“Well they thought they might have found some stolen property that might have come out of the County, out of their jurisdiction.”

The items in question were found in a vehicle being driven by 45 year old Terry Lee Brown of Lakemont…

“An investigator went up and did discover some property that belonged to a location that the subject was working, and doing a followup investigation, it was proven that this property was taken from the employer.”
