Two suspects, one a Leitchfield man, accused of committing a thefts in Grayson County have been arrested in Hart County.
On Friday, the Hart County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of the two suspects, traveling in a Ford truck, being followed by the victim. The victim followed the truck until losing sight of the suspects, but a Hart County deputy encountered the vehicle on Millerstown Road (Hwy 224) between the Hart County line and Upton.
The deputy executed a traffic stop and made contact with 63-year-old James Burba, of Munfordville, and 28-year-old Dustin Davis, of Leitchfield.
Inside the vehicle, police located a bag of methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
The two men, according to WNKY.com, admitted to committing the theft in Grayson County.
Both suspects were arrested and charged with receiving stolen property (more than $1,000, less than $10,000), possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Burba was additionally charged with tampering with physical evidence, while Davis is facing multiple non-moving violations.
They were lodged in the Hart County Jail.
Davis was arrested in January of last year at Bear Creek Apartments in Leitchfield on several charges after police responded to an EPO violation. In that case, he was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance along with other counts.
