Jason Wilson, a 41-year-old Lexington resident, was charged with grand larceny and Maynard Bartlett, a 37-year-old Columbia resident, was charged with grand larceny and receiving stolen goods, according to arrest warrants.<\/p>\n
“After receiving a call from a witness, deputies responded to a theft of a trailer on Bush River Road,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “The witness reported seeing a white pickup truck speed off after stealing his neighbor’s trailer.”<\/p>\n
Koon said deputies were able to conduct a traffic stop after passing a white truck pulling a trailer that matched the description. They found Bartlett in the driver’s seat and Wilson in the passenger seat. The pickup truck was also reported stolen out of Lexington County.<\/p>\n
“Bartlett admitted to taking the trailer and stated that he was picking it up for a friend,” Koon said. “The value of the truck is $20,000 and the value of the trailer is $5,000.”<\/p>\n
Wilson is being held in the Lexington County Detention Center. Bartlett has been released after meeting conditions of his bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
