Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a report of a stolen pickup truck in rural New Florence. While a deputy was fueling his patrol car in Jonesburg the convenience store clerk alerted the deputy to a person who had fueled a pickup up matching the description of the stolen truck. The suspect had also attempted to pass a check for fuel. However, when asked for I.D he fled from the store.
