An arrest warrant has been issued for a Memphis, Tenn. man charged in Stone County Circuit Court with the theft of a Jeep Cherokee.
According to court information filed yesterday, Mountain View police were contacted regarding a woman who had traveled to Alabama with a friend to pick up the 2004 Cherokee as a gift from her father.
On the way back, the court documents said they also picked up an individual identified as Garrett Green, 29, in Memphis who was coming to Mountain View to spend some time.
Green’s arrest affidavit said the woman who owned the residence from where the Cherokee was taken told police after she went to bed around 2:30 a.m. on Oct. 4, she woke to find both the Cherokee and Green were gone.
The affidavit said the vehicle was eventually located at the Memphis address from where Green was picked up. Shelby County deputies made a traffic stop and recovered the Cherokee, but when Green exited the vehicle, authorities say he fled on foot.
The court has set a bond of $10,000 on his felony theft of property charge.
