Recovered Stolen Vehicle

On Monday 5/11/2015 just after midnight, Deputy John Beranek was patrolling the south bend community at which time he observed a truck with the cargo lights on sitting in the drive of a home on Phillips Road. Due to the recent thefts in the area the deputy checked the vehicle at which time he made contact with a male subject who lives at the home. A check of the license plate showed the vehicle, a 2005 black Nissan Titan, to have been reported stolen out of Benton. After further investigation the deputy learned that the truck was driven to the home by the man’s friend Amanda (Boyles). Contact was made with the female identified as Amanda M. Vance 29 of Benton and she was arrested for theft by receiving. Vance was transported to the Lonoke County Sheriff’s Detention Center and held pending bond or first appearance. Sheriff John Staley related, “Those in our communities who wish to commit criminal acts will not be tolerated, they will be arrested and held accountable”.
