According to the arrest affidavit, an anonymous witness informed officers that Hodges was in possession of a stolen vehicle, and he was attempting to sell the vehicle to get rid of it. The vehicle had a value of $5,000. Another witness said Hodges was in the driver’s seat of the vehicle as officers approached and took off driving when he saw the officers.

Second-degree theft is a Class-D felony.
