'Uncle's' truck determined stolen

 


UNIONTOWN – Two people were booked into Whitman County jail June 28 after it was determined the vehicle they were driving was stolen.

The blue Chevrolet truck was stopped by Uniontown Police Officer Joe Handley on Sunday about noon for alleged speeding. According to the police report, the male driver said the vehicle belonged to the female passenger's uncle. Upon further dialogue with the two occupants, Officer Handley became suspicious the vehicle was stolen. When asked if they had permission to use the vehicle, the occupants allegedly told the officer they had the keys. Officer Handley contacted Lincoln and Spokane counties to contact the vehicle owner who was named on the insurance card in the vehicle. According to the report, the owner stated the truck was stolen and reported it as such.

John Macadoo, 28, Apple Valley, Calif., was booked on charge of possession of a stolen vehicle. The passenger, Roni Hatton, 29, Sonora, Calif., was initially released, but was booked for taking a motor vehicle without permission after officers discovered she had a past charge for attempted vehicle theft, according to the report.

Both are being held without bail through Whitman County Superior Court.
