A Dubach man was arrested last week in reference to an alleged stolen vehicle.
A deputy with the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to an address on McGee Road in reference to a stolen vehicle. The complainant stated Steven Jensen, 47, had been at his house the night before, got drunk and passed out on the ground. The complainant said he tried to wake Jensen but could not.
When the complainant awoke the next morning, his Dodge one-ton pickup was gone, along with his 15-foot trailer that was attached to the truck. He told the deputy he believed it was Jensen.
The deputy went to Jensen’s residence and found the stolen truck and trailer with Jensen sitting in the truck. The deputy asked him to step out of the truck. When the deputy attempted to place Jensen in restraints, Jensen attempted to pull away and actively resisted arrest until he was secured in the patrol unit.
Later, the complainant contacted deputies again and said Jensen had apparently damaged the truck by striking a wood pile when he was backing out.
Jensen was booked and charged with unauthorized use of a movable vehicle, two counts of resisting an officer and criminal damage to property. Bond is set at $5,000.
