Stolen Redings Mill fire truck found, spray painted

On Monday, a brush fire truck was stolen from the Redings Mill Fire Protection District. Wednesday afternoon around 4, Jasper Police saw a truck that looked just like it…but with a light coat of black spray paint on it. They started a pursuit with the truck before the suspect then abandoned it in a field near I-49 and Baseline Road.

Jasper County Detective Tim Williams tells us that they were able to set up a perimeter in the area. They then saw a man driving a tractor through a nearby field, made contact with him and found out he was the suspect. He was subsequently arrested and his name will be released when formal charges are filed.
