A man on Shallowford Road told police he wanted to report his vehicle stolen. He said the vehicle was taken by a woman he named. The man said she took the day before around 4 p.m. The man had tried to report the same thing approximately one year ago and officers did not report the vehicle as stolen because the woman is his wife. The man told police that it turns out his wife had been married to another man prior to marrying him, and she had not properly divorced that man, invalidating their marriage. He said she had no permission to drive the vehicle. However, when police ran the vehicle information, the wife showed up as the registered owner. Police informed him they could not report the car as stolen. The man was very concerned about having liability if his wife was in an accident because he said her license is revoked for DUI and he said he believes she is driving the vehicle drunk. He said he believes that she has the vehicle in the Atlanta area.
