Jacob Tamayo
A man has been arrested in Bradley County, after attempting to steal a vehicle.
On Thursday, Deputy Jessica Morgan observed a silver truck in a church parking lot on South Lee Highway. While checking the premises, Dep. Morgan observed a male wearing a black tank top and red shorts exiting the rear window of the cab into the bed of the truck. Once the suspect noticed Dep. Morgan, he fled on foot towards a neighboring trailer park.
After identifying the male through Dep. Morgan’s patrol vehicle’s video, a search was conducted around the trailer park the suspect ran toward. The suspect, later identified as Jacob Tamayo, 21, was located at the trailer park hiding inside a trailer. A black tank top and red shorts were also found in the same vicinity where Tamayo was observed hiding.
Tamayo has been charged with auto burglary and failure to stop, halt, and frisk. Additionally, Tamayo was served two outstanding warrants for his arrest; misdemeanor violation of probation and failure to appear.
