SHERIFF FORUM Bottom right LOGO
An armed teen suspect was arrested Sunday when a sheriff's deputy reportedly caught him with a stolen utility vehicle and a stolen handgun. Bulloch County Sheriff's Sgt. Travis Tuengue was patrolling the commercial business district near Mill Creek Park around 3 a.m. Sunday when he saw someone on a John Deere Gator traveling on Highway 24, said Bulloch County Sheriff Lynn Anderson. The Gator matched the description of one reported stolen April 9 from a Clito Road business, so Tuenge "stopped the UTV after a short distance and observed the male driver fumbling around in his waistband apparently attempting to remove an object," he said.
