JONESBORO, Ark. — A vehicle reported stolen over the weekend was found wrecked in a ditch with significant damage and evidence of drug use inside.
The vehicle’s owner reported the theft of his silver Chevrolet Silverado at 9:48 a.m. on August 5 from the 800-block of North Church Street. He recalled parking it under his carport the previous night. Exhausted from a rigorous work week, the man admitted to mistakenly leaving the keys in the ignition. He discovered the vehicle missing upon waking up.
Craighead County deputies located the Silverado the next day near Westside schools. It had already been towed following a wreck from the previous night. Police noted extensive damage to the vehicle.
Additionally, a marijuana pipe was discovered on the vehicle’s floor, which has since been logged as evidence. Police hope to recover DNA from the pipe to aid in the ongoing investigation, the report said.
