Troutman authorities recover stolen 1992 Dodge pickup

Troutman Police Chief Matthew Selves found a stolen vehicle Wednesday and an officer later arrested a man for taking the truck.

Shawn Guy, 34, of Troutman was charged with larceny of a motor vehicle and possession of a stolen vehicle.

Selves said sometime Tuesday night, a 1992 Dodge truck was reported stolen from a residence on Talley Street.

The next afternoon, Selves discovered the vehicle at the corner of Fourth Street and Old Charlotte Road in South Statesville.

The truck’s ignition was damaged, as were the drive shaft and steering.

A witness told police someone known as Shawn brought the truck there the night before and it became disabled. The witness said Shawn and another man worked on the truck for a while before leaving it.

Selves said the witness didn’t know Shawn’s last name, but knew he worked at Arby’s near Troutman.

That led police to Guy, who was arrested.

Cpl. Joe Gentle questioned Guy, who admitted to taking the truck, Selves said.
