A deputy responded to a home on Groveland Farms Road regarding a vehicle stolen by 38-year-old Michael Anthony Stewart around 11:05 p.m. Friday, March 27, according to an arrest report from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
The owner advised that Stewart, his employee at Silver Star Construction Inc, 8922 Bogaert Dr., Groveland, had stolen his black 2007 Ford F-350.
