NARRATIVE: Between Sunday 11/2 and Tuesday 11/11, RB Baker and Sons was the victim of theft on several different nights. Suspects were taking compressed “biscuits” of aluminum cans valued at approximately $18 a piece. Suspects took an average of 600 pounds each time, for a total of approximately 3600 pounds of aluminum metal stolen in a week. This equates ot over 180,000 aluminum cans.
A surveillance team set up on the location and at approximately 0300 hrs on the 11th a dark green Suzuki Vitara SUV was observed pulling into the business lot. A male suspect (Darrell William Timms) began loading metal into SUV with the female suspect (Andrea Lynn Fauver) acted as a lookout and assisted with loading. Both suspects were arrested after deputies watched them load several hundred pounds of aluminum in the SUV.
Both subjects were taken into custody without incident and transported to Sheriff's Headquarters for processing. A check with pawn records data base has tied the two to earlier thefts. A District Court Commissioner later released Fauver on her personal recognizance and Timms was released after posting $10,000 bond.
