The Carmi Police Department reported to the Car Corral due to a stolen orange and silver 2024 Polaris R24RRY side by side from their lot. After several days of investigation, police received enough information to obtain a search warrant for the residence and all property of Robert McGehee in Enfield. With the help of the White County Sheriff’s Department and the Norris City Police Department, the stolen Polaris was found on McGehee’s property.

McGehee was placed under arrest and charged with Posession of a Stolen Vehicle, Defacing a Manufacturers ID number, Possession of Methamphetamine 400-900 grams, Unlawful Use of Property, Possession of Stolen Property, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
The investigation continues into this theft and additional arrests are expected in the future.
