Jackson man arrested
after deputies discover
wrecked stolen car
A Jackson man was arrested
and charged with theft by receiv-
ing stolen property after he was
involved in a two-vehicle wreck
while driving a stolen car at a
High Falls Road motel on Sept.
26. At about 6:48 a.m the male
owner of a tan Chevrolet S-10
truck told Cpl. John Thompson
that a gray 2006 Mazda Miata
had rear-ended his truck at the
High Falls Hideaway motel. The
truck's owner said it was unoc-
cupied and parked in a parking
space at the time of the incident.
The truck's owner said his vehicle
did not have any damage and said
he didn't want to file a report.
The male Miata driver, who was
being treated by Monroe County
EMTs and looked as if he had
just woken up, told Thompson
he was parked in the parking
lot and must have fallen asleep
with his foot on the brake, caus-
ing his vehicle to roll into the
truck. Dispatchers then notified
Thompson that the Miata was
reported stolen out of Henry
County on Sept. 17. The driver
told Thompson he met another
man on Grindr, and the other
man had allowed him to drive his
Miata while the driver's vehicle
was being repaired. The driver
said he had been in possession
of the Miata for about two weeks
but had not spoken to the other
man in about a week. Thompson
then inventoried the Miata and
found on the front seat a black
zip-up container with a small bag
ofmethamphetamine and a bag
of marijuana inside. The driver
then admitted he had been ar-
rested in Henry County on drug
possession charges earlier in the
month. Thompson then asked
the driver what he was doing at
the motel, and the driver said he
was meeting someone else he
had been talking with on Grindr.
The Miata's male owner said his
brother was the other man on
Grindr and said the driver had
taken the car and never returned
it. The owner said his brother had
since gone to another state for
drug rehab. Thompson then took
the Miata driver to the Monroe
County Jail, where he was also
charged with possession ofmeth-
amphetamine and possession of
marijuana.
