JoCo Sheriff's Deputy Lodges Suspect for Stealing Car to Run Errands
A Josephine County Sheriff's deputy lodged a man after he stole a vehicle to run errands.
Early Tuesday morning at 1:57, a man called 911 reporting he had just woken up to find his vehicle, a Toyota Solara, was missing. He told dispatch no one had permission to have the car, and that the keys weren't in the vehicle.
The reporting party said his son, George Brogdon, who had been staying at the residence in the 3000 block of Sand Creek Road, took the car. Brogdon's parole officer was contacted, and a detainer was issued.
The caller wished to press charges, and the deputy was able to contact Brogdon, requesting to meet with him for an interview regarding the vehicle. Law enforcement met Brogdon at the Fast and Easy Market on Demaray Drive hours later around 3:50 p.m., where he ultimately admitted to taking the vehicle in order to run errands.
He said he knew he wasn't supposed to take the vehicle, and the deputy took Brogdon into custody. He was transported and lodged in the Josephine County Jail for Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle and his detainer.
