The truck left at a high rate of speed leaving the farm, turned onto RT 304 and then into another farm property that has a lock gate blocking the lane. Victim continued on to his residence and saw a tractor that he had borrowed from Kevin Higgs had been moved, covered with mud and left with the lights on. Victim advised he had been gone just a short time and the tractor was not muddy when he left. Victim also stated he had confronted the driver of the truck as it left the other farm property and identified the driver as a former employee Craig Engle of Centreville.

 

Later that evening, Mr. Beaver called to report there was activity at the neighboring farm again. Dfc. Goodman responded there and walked up the lane where he confronted four individuals with two trucks. Investigation and interviews of the subjects indicated that earlier in the day Craig Engle had contacted one of the subjects and wanted to “do some scrapping” of old metal on that farm and had walked there. When he didn’t want to walk back , the one subject called his son to come and pick him up and when he did, the truck got stuck. The man sent Craig Engle to get another truck to pull them out but the truck couldn’t do it. Craig Engle then went across the road to his former employer, took a New Holland tractor there and returned with it to attempt to pull the truck out. Engle then returned the tractor to across the road. The man and his son were in the truck when Mr. Beaver had confronted Engle, and when they heard the police were being called left the area. The four that Dfc. Goodman had stopped, all stated they had just come down there to retrieve the truck left earlier. Craig Engle had not returned with them.

 

Dfc. Goodman completed and submitted charges for William Craig Engle (52) of Centreville for Unauthorized Use of the Tractor and trespassing. A Criminal Summons has been issued. Additional Charges are pending.
