Man allegedly steals truck from parents

A Cedar Rapids man has been accused of stealing a truck from his parents

Jawson Demarr Walker, 20, was charged on Sept. 3, 2013, with second-degree theft.

According to a Johnson County Sheriff’s Office complaint, Walker allegedly stole the vehicle owned by his parents, a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado truck. According to the complaint, he forged his parent’s signatures on the reverse side of the title and transferred that title with the Linn County Treasurer’s Office. 

Walker has since been entered into National Crime Information Center as a missing person, and the location of the truck is also unknown, the complaint said.

Second-degree theft is a Class-D felony.
