Stolen Truck & Equipment Leads to Arrest & $25,000 Bond
August 9th, 2022 by Joe Burgess
On July 9, Deputies were dispatched to Ables Creek Road in reference to a subject parked on the side of the road with possible stolen items inside of the vehicle.
Deputies arrived in the area and located a white male walking near Tillar. The male subject was identified as James Ratliff, age 47, of Dermott.
Deputies returned to the vehicle with Ratliff. A check of the license plate revealed the plate was fictitious. Deputies ran the vin number through Monticello dispatch and the truck was listed as stolen from Bolivar County, Mississippi. Two aluminum irrigation riser heads were located in the back of the truck and were reported stolen from Desha County. Ratliff was arrested and charged with two counts of Theft by Receiving.
Ratliff appeared before Judge Robert Gibson for a first appearance on July 11, 2022. Ratliff’s bond was set at $25,000 commercial. Ratliff is currently in the Drew County Detention Facility.
