M’Boro Man Nabbed in DeKalb County for THEFT

April 22, 2009

A Murfreesboro man, arrested during a traffic stop last week, was later charged with burglary and thefts in DeKalb County after deputies there found stolen goods in his truck.
30 year old James Ricky Ashford of Burnwood Trailer Court in Murfreesboro is charged with two counts of theft of property under $500 and one count of burglary.

Sheriff Patrick Ray says Ashford was arrested on Sunday after a traffic stop on Highway 96 in Liberty, TN. “County deputies were on patrol in the Snows Hill and Dowelltown area when they made the traffic stop and noticed a leaf blower and a tool box in the back of the vehicle that Ashford was driving. After an in-depth investigation, officers discovered that Ashford and two other persons had been riding around looking for items to steal in DeKalb County. They even went to a store in Smithville and purchased a pry bar to use as a tool to gain entry into locked buildings, vehicles, and trailers.”
