A LaGrange College football coach told police that a thief stole his 1996 Ford Expedition from the parking lot at Callaway Stadium on Thursday afternoon. He had put the keys under the floor mat and left the vehicle un-locked.

The Expedition, valued at $8,000, later was found undamaged at a park on Lindsey Street, where a witness saw three males get out of the vehicle and run. The keys were not found.

Arrest

An 18-year-old was arrested on criminal trespass charges Thursday at Georgia Access on Mooty Bridge Road after he went “mud riding” in a 1996 Jeep Wrangler and the vehicle got stuck in the mud. Troup County sheriff’s deputies said the vehicle caused substantial damage to the grounds, including a creek area.

The teen’s father met with the Army Corps of Engineers to arrange for repairs.
