Upon arrival Deputy Green located a John Deere 8295R. The tractor had been driven out of a field, down Hwy 208, then returned to the same turn road that it had been removed from. Possible suspect information was developed, and the case is under further investigation. ATTENTION TO ALL FARMERS IN THE HALLEY AREA: There may be a subject joy riding in tractors. We hope this was an isolated incident. However, should you discover any equipment tampered with, contact the Sheriff’s Office. Deputies will be patrolling the area.
During the course of property checks last week, Deputies discovered three unsecured doors on Farm Shops and a business.
