On 11/27/16 the Johnson City Police Department, with assistance of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, made two arrests in reference to a theft of a tow trailer. An Aluma trailer was stolen from EG Trailer Sales, 4421 Bristol Hwy, on 11/27/16. The suspects left the scene with the trailer attached to a white Ford Expedition and left on Bristol Hwy, where they developed a flat tire and subsequently pulled into Winged Deer Park. From there, witnesses watched two subjects inspect the damage, detach the trailer, go back to the business, steal two more trailer tires, attach them to the trailer, and drive off. Officers on scene were able to get a description from the witnesses and put a BOLO out on the raido. A state Trooper found the Expedition towing the trailer on Fort Henry Dr. in Kingsport and stopped it. As a result of the investigation Joseph Davis (36 yrs old, 632 N Cherokee St Jonesborough) and John Hale (51 yrs old, 111 Lake Haven Dr. Gray) were both charged with Theft of Property over $1,000, Vandalism over $500, and Theft of Motor Vehicle parts under $500. Both are being held in the Washington County Detention Center in lieu of a $21,000 bond. Both are scheduled for Arraignment in General Sessions Court on 11/28/16 at 1:30 pm.
