MEIGS COUNTY — The Meigs County Sheriff’s Office is conducting investigations into several reports of theft.
The office received a call at 4:30 a.m., Tuesday of a 1995 Jeep missing from a residence on Ball Run. The Jeep was later located in a ditch on Horner Hill and Kingsbury Road. According to Sheriff Robert Beegle, it appears the vehicle was being turned around and had backed into the ditch.
At 6:15 a.m., Jerry Tillis, of Kingsbury Road, reported his 2000 Buick LeSabre was missing. The vehicle was later located in a wooded area behind the cemetery on Ball Run Road.
The Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification (BCI&I) was present Wednesday morning to process the vehicles for fingerprints and other possible clues to the case.
Beegle said that several items taken from a burglary last Friday at the residence of Gary Adams on Minersville Road have been recovered.
Statements have also been obtained from witnesses, identifying a suspect in the case. Deputies are looking for the individual and expect to make an arrest soon.
Roy Adkins of Racine, reported to the Sheriff’s Office that he had been informed that his Discover Card had apparently been copied. Attempts to use the card had taken place in Taylor, Michigan, Monroe, Michigan, Dever, North Carolina and a location in Pennsylvania.
The office is also looking into a report that someone had dumped a load of roofing material in a creek along Perry Run Road over the past few days.
Shelly Materials, Letart, notified the office that wiring had been stolen from the Letart Plant.
Beegle also reported the arrest of Bobby Rupe, 32, of Racine, on a charge of domestic violence.
Anyone with information on any of these or other cases is asked to contact the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office.
and almost no effort was made to recover it. They knew who took it and where it was for a very long time but refused to recover it for me because they thought if they waited it would lead to something bigger, such as a drug bust. The drug bust never happen and when they did start serving warrants the person that had it already sold it to someone else. After word got out that they were looking for it they were able to track it down. It was left up to the task force to recover it and they never did and the Sheriffs office wouldn't act on it even after me practically begging someone to get for me. The prosecuter even stop answering or wouldnt return any of my calls. So a person can't blame for feeling as if my rights were trampled on and thrown out the window.
