A Russellville, Ark., man was arrested on Dec. 28, suspected of stealing two dozen tires from his former employer and then selling them to another local tire business.
Russellville Police say the 29-year-old man stole the tires, valued at approximately $2,000, from a Goodyear-owned tire on North Arkansas Avenue sometime in last year. The man worked at the store until November.
Some of the tires, which bore a chalk marking, turned up later at the Tires-R-Us store in the city. Eventually 20 of the 24 stolen tires were recovered.
