Nitro Man Arrested After Taking Car For Debt
WEST VIRGINIA....
John Richard Thomas III, 21, of Nitro has been arrested and charged with burglary and grand larceny after allegedly stealing a woman's car in an attempt to collect a debt she owed him. Police say Thomas went to the home of Julie Eads and told her he needed the money he'd loaned her. When Eads told him she didn't have any money, Thomas went into a downstairs area of her home before heading back outside where she saw him sitting in one of the cars in her yard that she'd posted for sale. According to the complaint, Thomas drove off in her maroon 1993 Chevrolet Sportsvan, valued at about $2,000.
