tiple tips were received
about a possible suspect.
“We located the truck
involved covered in tarps
in the backyard of a
home on Brown Springs
Road in Milner and that
led to the arrest,” sheriff
Brad White said.
On Feb. 5, Sgt. Jeremy
Haire arrested 31-year-
old Justin Leon Evans in
connection with the case.
He is charged with failure
to notify owner upon
striking a fixed object(s)
