Men pushing vehicle down road get officer’s attention

By Lucas Sullivan | Thursday, September 24, 2009, 09:45 AM

DAYTON - A 21-year-old man was arrested by police Wednesday, Sept. 23, after an officer noticed him pushing a stolen vehicle down Fountain Avenue.

Yhanteg Morrell and another man were pushing a GMC Jimmy the wrong way down a one-way street about 1:20 p.m. when Officer Gregory Mills ran the license plate of the vehicle through a police database, according to a police report.

The vehicle came back stolen as Morrell and another man pushed the SUV into a Marathon gas station, the report stated. Mills circled back around and when he returned, Morrell was inside the Jimmy, driving it away from the gas station.

Mills and another officer pulled the vehicle over without incident. Morrell, who does not have a driver’s license, told them a friend gave him the keys to the SUV, the report stated. His passenger was interviewed and then released.

Morrell was arrested on a felony receiving stolen property and misdemeanor driving without a valid license charges, the report stated. The owner of the vehicle was contacted and reclaimed the SUV as Morrell was taken to Montgomery County Jail.

Morrell is expected in court at 1:30 p.m. today.
