The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says a man and a woman were arrested Monday evening in connection to the theft of property from Ringgold County. 39-year old Joseph Smith, of Red Oak, and 48-year old Paula Sue Blake, of Essex, were arrested. A third person identified as 24-year old Austin Allan Jones, of Creston, is wanted in regard to the incident.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says they received a report at around 3:30-p.m. from a property owner in the 2900 block of 100th Street, indicating there were trespassers on the caller’s property, riding four-wheelers. During their investigation, authorities discovered the machines had been stolen from Ringgold County.

Smith was arrested at around 7:20-p.m. Blake was taken into custody a little after 10-p.m. Both suspects have been charged with possession of stolen property, a Class C Felony. They were being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $10,000 bond, each.

Jones, who was still at large as of the last report, is described as being a white male, 6’0, and 185-pounds. Deputies recovered a handgun believed to belong to Jones. They say it’s not clear if he is still armed. Authorities warn if you see Jones, do not approach him. Instead, you should contact your local authorities.
