An Ozark County man, alledged to have stolen a pick up truck in Mountain Home, will be transported from Ozark County to Mountain Home where he will face felony theft of property charges. Mountain Home Police Chief Carry Manuel says 34 year old Dustin Hudspeth was arrested Wednesday night by the Ozark County Sheriff following a welfare check at his residence where a vehicle, stolen in Mountain Home, was discovered.
According to the police chief, his department received a complaint shortly before 8 Wednesday evening that Hudspeth had been dropped off near a church and fitness center in Mountain Home. It was reported he was traveling on foot and was impaired from the use of meth and bath salts.
Nearly a half hour later, Mountain Home Police officers responded to the fitness center were a 1999 Ford F150 pickup truck with a go-cart in the truck’s bed was reported stolen.
Later the same evening, deputies from the Ozark County Sheriff’s Office went to Hudspeth
s residence for a welfare check. Upon arrival, the sheriff’s deputy saw the truck with the go-cart, which had not yet been entered as stolen. When the sheriff’s office received information of the stolen vehicle several hours later, they returned to Hudspeth’s residence, where they confirmed the vehicle was the stolen pick-up truck and took Hudspeth into custody.
Chief Manuel says Dustin Hudspeth will soon be transported to Mountain Home where he will be held in the Baxter County jail.
