Dade County Deputies successfully intercepted a large U-Haul truck transporting a stolen Kubota tractor on Saturday morning. The action unfolded after a Trenton City Police Department Detective alerted Dade County Deputies that the U-Haul, carrying the stolen tractor, was possibly heading towards Back Valley Rd. The detective had been tipped off by the owner of the stolen tractor, who was closely following the U-Haul. The stolen tractor had been reported missing from Alabama the previous week, and the Dekalb County Sheriff’s Office had already put out an alert for its recovery. Dade County Deputies located the U-Haul parked at a residence on Byrds Chapel Dr. Upon confronting the suspect/driver, a confrontation ensued between the Deputies and the suspect. The suspect was apprehended. After a search of the U-Haul, the stolen Kubota tractor was found, and it was promptly returned to its owner. As a result of the incident, the suspect is now facing multiple felony charges and has been remanded to the Dade County Jail.
