The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a man and woman for allegedly stealing a tractor mower.

Lori Diane Bollinger, 39, 206 Blackfoot Trail, was charged Oct. 29 with second-degree theft and Todd Bailey, 37, 206 Blackfoot Trail, was charged Oct. 29 with second-degree theft and third-degree burglary.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, Bailey allegedly entered a barn on Oct. 17 to remove a John Deere lawn tractor with a 54-inch mowing deck. Bailey had no right to enter the barn or possess the tractor, deputies said. The tractor model was valued at $4,000.

Bailey reportedly admitted she believed the lawn tractor was stolen after it was found on the property.

Second-degree theft is a Class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $7,500.
