(KAIR)--The discovery of a stolen vehicle in the parking lot of a Holton business sends three to jail on charges ranging from theft to meth.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says both Sheriff's Deputies and Holton Police Officers responded to the parking lot of the Holton Walmart Friday evening, investigating a suspicious 2003 Chevy Tahoe parked in that location.
They learned the vehicle had been stolen from Topeka. The investigators also received a report that a purse had been stolen from inside another vehicle that was parked next to the Tahoe.
The purse was then located in the restroom of the Holton 7-Eleven, while the suspects were tracked to the Country Mart grocery store, where they were arrested.
Taken into custody were three Topeka residents, 33-year-old Dennis Gonzales Jr., 29-year-old Torey Truitt, and 20-year-old Alexa Cox.
Morse says all three were arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of stolen property. Truitt also faces a charge of theft.
Following their arrests, the trio was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
