T. Smith
Date of Report:
April 1, 2012
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on April 1, 2012, I, Officer R. T. Smith was dispatched to a stolen
vehicle complaint at 123 Main Street in Centervale. I met with the complainant, Jane
Daugherty, who said that she had parked her car by a meter while entering into Fuzzy's
Furniture Store. Before returning to her car she had stopped at the sandwich shop to pick up
dinner. Daugherty returned to her car at approximately 10:30 p.m. This is when she discovered
her car had been stolen.
Daugherty described her car as a 2009 black Toyota Corolla. The registration is 123-ABC. The car
is valued at approximately $13,000 and has a sunroof and a dent on the back left fender from a
grocery cart.
Daugherty stated that she had locked the car after exiting but did not have the keys with her at
the time. She also said that she had left the keys in a lock box in the gas tank so that she did not
have to worry about losing them. Daugherty stated that she had not given anyone permission
to take her vehicle and was current on her auto payments so there was no possibility of
repossession.
In my survey of the crime scene, I was unable to locate any items of evidence. There was no
broken glass near the meter where the vehicle was parked and there were no items to
photograph. Daugherty's vehicle information was entered into the National Crime Information
Center database and a
Be on the look-out
(BOLO) was issued for her vehicle.
At approximately 12:15 a.m. on April 2, 2012, information was received that Centervale Officer
W. S. Wright was in pursuit of the suspected stolen vehicle. He entered into a traffic stop after
the car came to a stop outside Freddy's Bar in South Centervale. The driver of the vehicle was
later identified intoxicated and tampering with a motor vehicle. The car was towed to Fred's
Salvage. I made contact with Daugherty to notify her that her vehicle had been recovered and
that I would contact her once the vehicle was processed for evidence and could be released.
White had two new charges pending in addition to her violation. She was found guilty of the
felony of tampering with a motor vehicle. The misdemeanor charge of driving while intoxicated
