A Baxter County man is accused of stealing a pickup truck. According to Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery, 52-year-old Michael Joseph Pedry of Gassville was arrested Wednesday morning on an outstanding felony bench warrant and is charged with a Class C count of Theft of Property.
The owner of a 2004 Chevrolet crew cab pickup truck reported his vehicle and a chainsaw in the truck were stolen in July, and the cumulative value of the items was $8,450. The following morning, the vehicle was located in the parking lot at Harps on the west end of the Sheid-Hopper Bypass. During the investigation, images were discovered on the store's security camera video system showing the suspect, identified as Pedry, driving the truck onto the lot, parking it and walking away.
Pedry is being held in the Baxter County Detention Center in lieu of $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Baxter County Circuit Court.
