A String of Thefts
In a recent bust, Luke Andrew Patton, a 20-year-old man from Pea Ridge, has been accused of stealing two pickup trucks and a motorcycle. According to the authorities, Patton is now facing charges of theft of property as well as fleeing.
This is not the first time individuals from Pea Ridge have been involved in theft rings. In 2016, a significant sting operation resulted in the arrest of three men, including Casey Lee Butler, 33, of Pea Ridge, Jason Edward Childress, 33, of Rogers, and Marion “Trey” Wise, 45, of Cave Springs. During this operation, stolen vehicles and other items were recovered, including motorcycles and pickup trucks.
The Pea Ridge Police Department has been actively addressing various incidents in the region, from reckless driving to disorderly conduct and theft. Their efforts highlight a commitment to maintaining the safety and security of the community.
