TWO ARRESTED AFTER STEALING $24,000 OF MATTRESSES

SEVERAL USED SYRINGES FOUND IN VEHICLE AFTER ARREST
The West District patrol officers and Knoxville Police Department arrested two individuals who were in possession of 12 stolen MLILY brand mattresses valued at around $24,000 total on Tuesday afternoon after an extensive investigation.
The mattresses were stolen from Foothills Brokerage on Western Avenue and an employee of the company reported seeing a woman attempting to sell the mattresses at a flea market in Alcoa from a flatbed trailer attached to a Ford pickup truck. The stolen mattresses were also being offered for resale on Facebook. After a meeting was orchestrated through Facebook to purchase the mattresses, officers stopped the truck, which was pulling a trailer carrying the stolen mattresses. The driver, 48-year-old Jack Toomire, was charged with felony theft and also had an outstanding warrant out of Jefferson County for violation of probation. The passenger, 46-year-old Danyell Daniel, was also charged with felony theft. Daniel ran from the truck after the initial traffic stop but was quickly apprehended.
