HUNTINGTON, Ind. (WOWO): A criminal investigation by officers with the Indiana State Police Department has resulted in the arrest of Donnie Horne, 38, of Huntington. He was arrested on a felony charge for possession of stolen property.
In July 2017, detectives initiated an investigation into the theft of a New Holland tractor. The tractor was valued at approximately $10,000.
The investigation revealed the tractor was stolen from a Roann farm, on July 5, 2017, and sold at a Hamilton County auction, for $4,500, on July 6, 2017. It was later discovered that Horne was the person who sold the stolen tractor at the auction. There was also a stolen tiller attached to it when it was sold. The tiller had allegedly been stolen on July 3, 2017, from a Huntington County barn.
Meantime, even more evidence discovered revealed that Horne could have allegedly sold more stolen items. Police are asking for the public’s assistance in locating additional stolen items.
