A Kellyton man was arrested earlier this month on vehicle-related charges following a routine stop.
On February 4, deputies Payton and Williams were on routine patrol when they stopped a motorcycle on U.S. Highway 280. They initially pulled the motorcycle over because of not being able to see the tag.
However, upon stopping it, they saw the tag and ran it, but it came back switched. Deputies then attempted to read the Vehicle Identification Number on the motorcycle, but it was completely scratched off and unreadable.
The traffic stop resulted in the arrest of 42-year-old Jonathan Allen Roberson on the charge of first-degree receiving stolen property and obscuring the identity of a vehicle.
The motorcycle was stolen from Houston County, and it was recovered and returned to the owner.
Roberson’s total bond was set at $15,000. As of press time he remained in custody at the Coosa County Jail awaiting trial.
Anyone who suspects or observes illegal activity is encouraged to report it to the Sheriff’s Office at 256-377-4922 or online at www.coosacountyso.org. Anonymous tips are also welcome.
