NARRATIVE: On July 21, 2010 a red 2002 Peterbilt dump truck was stolen from the Eastern Shore of Virginia and reported to the Virginia State Police. A reward was offered by the victim, Richard Trott, owner of Trotty Trucking.
Information was obtained that the vehicle was located on the property of John L Parsons. Parsons is the owner of “Johnny Lightening” welding. The company is open to the public and the victim located and was able to identify portions of his vehicle that had been dismantled “chopped” on the property. The Worcester County Bureau of Investigations conducted the investigation, with the assistance of The Worcester County Sheriff’s Office.
A search warrant was obtained by WCBI and was executed on the property. The dismantled stolen vehicle was located and was positively identified. The dual rear tandem had been cut from the chassis, the hood and bumper had been removed, and the cab was missing. Also on the property was a tractor portion of a tractor trailer owned by Douglas. Douglas’ vehicle had tires from the dump truck mounted to his vehicle.
Through the investigation, it was learned that the cab portion of the stolen vehicle had been dumped off the roadway on Bromley Road, Pocomoke, MD. Investigators responded to Bromley Rd. location and recovered the cab. A neighborhood check was conducted, and residents living in the area stated they observed a silver Ford pick-up, dumping the cab off the roadway. Parsons and Douglas were taken before a District Court Commissioner and released pending trial. Investigation continuing, WCBI is asking if anyone has any additional information to contact Cpl. J. Johnson, at 410-352-3476.

It didn't take long for Johnny to be released. He came in Hardee's Saturday morning just like he didn't have a care in the world.
No plea bargain deal and dropped charges for this thief if he is proven guilty. Minimum 10 years jail time for the crime.
While this jerk walks around free, the person he stole from is down one truck that Im sure he needs to make a living. What a POS. They should sell everything he owns to pay the person for lost wages.
It's kind of funny that Dave Catrino put his election sign for Sheriff next to Johnny's property after he got arrested. He is just as dirty as he is. What a joke.
I agree with 3:30... The arrest happens on the 27th and the sign appeared on the 29th. But then again take a look at where most Catrino signs are; The Your Stop in Snow Hill that I will remind you was raided by the FBI a few years ago as a place that was sending funds to Al Qaeida... Same family still owns it...
