This is how you get on Santa’s naughty list!!!

On Thursday, Dec. 14, 2023, officers were patrolling our city and located a stolen vehicle driving around. They were able to stop the vehicle and contacted three subjects inside. All three subjects were detained and while searching the vehicle, officers located approximately 600 lbs. of copper wire.

An AT&T representative responded and identified it as stolen AT&T wire and stated that it was worth approx. $10,000.00 dollars. These suspects earned themselves a spot on Santa’s naughty list and were booked into county jail. The copper wire was returned to AT&T and the vehicle to its owner.
