Authorities in Montgomery County, Tuesday night, arrested three people in connection with a plot to sell a vehicle for cash at a scrap yard. Officials say 23-year old Amanda Joy Huebner, of Red Oak, faces felony Theft in the 2nd degree charge, after she asked 26-year old Sara Ann Billie and 30-year old Lovelle Joseph Ward, both of Red Oak, to take a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee to a scrap yard in Omaha, and obtain cash for the vehicle so Huebner could pay some bills. All three suspects knew the SUV did not belong to Huebner.

Instead of taking the vehicle to the scrap yard, Billie and Ward used it for their own personal use. They brought the SUV to the police department after they spoke on the phone with officers. Billie and Ward were arrested for Operating (a vehicle) with the Owners Consent. Their bonds were set at $2,000 each. Huebner’s bond was set at $5,000.
