A dad contacted the Scioto County Sheriff’s office in search of his car. He told deputies he loaned the car to his son to drive to work, but the son was arrested, and he didn’t know where the car ended up.
The man told deputies the son told him the vehicle was stolen after he left it running and went into a store. He also admitted they’d switched tags on the vehicles, putting the tags from his son’s car on it. That’s because the dad couldn’t get tags due to a suspended license.
Officers learned the son had been busted at the Portsmouth Kroger, so they checked the lot to see if it was still there. When deputies spoke to the son at the jail, he told them the car theft had happened in Kentucky.
Officers contacted the Greenup County Sheriff’s Office and the Kentucky State Police to inform them of the incident.
