TRAILER THIEF CAUGHT - 2009/05/14 11:53

Chad A. Felts, Pryor, was arrested Sunday after he drove up pulling a stolen trailer while officers were serving a search warrant at his house.
Felts was arrested and booked into the Mayes County jail on complaints of knowingly concealing stolen property and possession of a firearm while in commission of a felony.
A bond hearing was held Monday at
2:30 p.m., and he was released by 4 p.m. on a $100,000 bond. Charges have yet to be filed due to the large amount of paperwork included in the case, said Investigator Albert McKee.
Investigators began looking into Felts after he was identified in video surveillance footage from a trailer theft in Chouteau Hills.
On Saturday, McKee and officers with the Pryor Police Department recovered two four wheelers and one golf cart Felts left at a residence in Pryor.
Working with Pryor and Chouteau, McKee obtained a search warrant for Felts’ residence in Lakeland. Officers found two more golf carts there. While officers were serving the search warrant, Felts drove up pulling a trailer which had been stolen near Strang Bridge.
“As luck would have it,” said McKee, Felts lives on a dead end road and didn’t have time to turn around before officers spotted him.
Charges are expected later this week.
