The victim stated that on June 12, his rear license plate was stolen from his vehicle while he was parked in front of the Roos Recreation Center on Harrison Street, between 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. The victim said he was working out there, and when he returned, he discovered his license plate was missing. After officers took down the information, the missing plate was detected by a License Plate Reader at approximately 3:45 a.m., traveling westbound on I-290. With the added information that the license plate was found in the morning, officers thought it was clear the license plate was not taken during the time it was believed, but more likely when the vehicle was parked at his own residence.

The officer activated their emergency equipment and curbed the vehicle at the listed location. Once they made contact with the driver and passengers of the vehicle, the officer explained the reason for the stop and asked for identification from the driver and front seat passenger. The front seat passenger, with the same name as the car was registered to, was reluctant to provide his ID, but ultimately provided his State ID Card, which confirmed them as the registered owner of the vehicle and subject of an active warrant.
