| Man
Charged After Stolen Vehicle Recovered |
Howell Buchanan |
A Morganton man was charged with possession
of stolen property after Burke deputies located a truck reported stolen in
November, 2000.
Howell Thomas Buchanan, 35, was arrested later at
an acquaintance's home.
According to Det. David Warlick, the stolen
truck was found Thursday by Sgt. Craig Treadway of the Sheriff's Office in the
woods behind Mull School on Old Hwy. 18. |
|
| |
| The 1960's model truck, owned by Jackie
Abernathy, was reported stolen in November of last year as it sat along
Interstate 40. Investigators learned that Buchanan was the suspect in the
theft of the vehicle. |
| |
| Upon Treadway's discovery, officers went to a
residence on Duckworth Avenue after learning Buchanan was possibly staying
there. Deputy Robert Beall received permission to search the residence and
found Howell hiding in a bedroom closet, Warlick stated. |
| |
| Buchanan was placed under a $1,000 secured bond
and will have a first court appearance on April 27th. |
