Vernon County sheriff's officers Friday completed an investigation into the thefts of three vehicles with the arrest of a Nevada man on felony charges alleging vehicle tampering. Sheriff Jason Mosher says the thefts of a Chevy Suburban and a 1996 Buick Regal were reported this past Tuesday and Wednesday and deputy John Randall found evidence that led him to believe the thefts were connected to the theft of an older-model Buick. The sheriff's department learned that someone was trying to sell three vehicles and set up an undercover "sting" operation on the parking lot of the Hardee's restaurant in Nevada. Sheriff Mosher says his department's informant wore a wire, the transaction was recorded and the 44-year-old suspect was arrested after received marked cash about 10:30 a.m. Friday. The sheriff identified the suspect as Johnnie Lee Ryan, 421 W. Arch, Nevada, and Ryan was booked at the Vernon County jail on three class C felony counts. His bond was set at $25,000.00 cash-only.
