Police charge driver with stolen tag

Published 8:43 pm Wednesday, May 31, 2017

MOULTRIE, Ga. — A Sunday morning drive ended abruptly for a Colquitt County man and woman when a police officer got behind the Honda Accord she was driving and discovered that it was a stolen pickup truck.

Actually, the tag on the back of the Accord was from a Chevrolet Silverado that had been reported stolen, police said. The tag decal that had been placed on the tag also was reported stolen, but from a different car.

When police stopped the Accord at about noon Sunday, Gary Lamount Turner told the officer that he owns that car. He offered to take responsibility and asked police not to arrest the driver, Shirley Ann Trimble.

Police took Trimble into custody after learning that she did not have a valid driver’s license, and then arrested Turner.

Both denied knowing how the license plate and decal came to be on the Honda. The last tag purchased for the Honda expired in 2011 and there was no insurance on the car, police said.
