BLEDSOE COUNTY DEPUTIES ARREST MAN AFTER FINDING STOLEN FIREARMS AND ITEMS

Bledsoe County deputies say a report of a stolen vehicle this week on Brayton Road led them to arrest a man. Deputies located a Ford Mustang and a check revealed it was taken in Dunlap. Officers then reportedly saw a vehicle with its hood compartment open and firearms inside the vehicle in plain view. A consent search of the property resulted in finding a suspect hiding in an out building allegedly in possession of narcotics and 26 loaded firearms nearby. Deputies removed an ATV with an altered VIN, two stolen vehicles, a stolen boat, and stolen firearms from the property. The suspect, who was not initially identified, was taken to the Bledsoe County Jail.
