On May 6th, at approximately 3:03 PM, the Boone County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to an auto theft that had just occurred. A Polaris UTV was reported stolen from the area of county road 800 North and 1050 West. The vehicle, owned by a local farmer, was parked in a field while the owner was working in his field on his tractor. The theft was witnessed by the owner, who observed a white male dressed in all black entering the Polaris and driving away.
Swift action by local law enforcement agencies led to the recovery of the stolen Polaris, found wrecked in a wood line near a creek in the area of 1200 West and State Road 32.

The owner has been reunited with his Polaris, thanks to the collaborative efforts of law enforcement. We commend their swift response and dedication to ensuring justice in our community.
