On 9/4/15 at about 2:45 PM, a Livingston DPS Trooper was entering the

Livingston DPS Office parking lot when a 2004 Sterling fertilizer truck entered the

same parking lot, spoke with the Trooper and informed him that he had stolen the

vehicle he was driving around midnight on the same date from within the City of

Lufkin. The driver was identified as Thaddeus Woods (37) from Lufkin, TX.

Woods informed the Trooper that he was intoxicated at the time he stole the

vehicle and wanted to return it. Woods was taken into custody for Unauthorized

Use of a Motor Vehicle (SJF) and booked into the Polk County Jail. The Trooper

notified the Lufkin Police Department and informed them that the vehicle that had

previously been reported as stolen had been recovered. The fertilizer truck was

picked up by the owner at approximately 5 o’clock the same day at the DPS Office

in Livingston.
