A local used car lot is under investigation after a stolen vehicle was found there two days before the business’s owner was to be in court on two counts of allegedly receiving stolen property in June 2014.

On Oct. 18 a 2011 white Ford truck that had been stolen from Joshua Powell of Brookhaven while he was at school in Jackson earlier this month was recovered from the Wilson Auto Sales lot, Brookhaven Police Chief Bobby Bell confirmed.

Wilson Auto Sales owner Donny Wilson, 54, was indicted March 24 for two counts of receiving stolen property. The indictment states on or before June 25, 2014, Wilson did “willfully, unlawfully, intentionally and feloniously have in his possession a black, two-door 2013 Dodge Challenger belonging to a Jeremy Miller of Jackson, having a value of at least $5,000 but less than $25,000 … at a time when Donny Wilson knew or had reasonable grounds to believe that said property had been stolen.”

The indictment states further that Wilson did “willfully, unlawfully, intentionally and feloniously have in his possession a black 2013 Nissan Maxima belonging to Sparks Nissan in Monroe, Louisiana, having a value of at least $5,000 but less than $25,000, and which had been stolen at a time when Wilson knew or had reasonable grounds to believe said property had been stolen.”

Wilson’s case was continued Monday until Nov. 2. The latest motion filed by the defense was for a mental evaluation on Oct. 19.

After Powell’s truck was recovered from the lot the remaining inventory was searched, Bell said, and nothing further had been found. Bell said, however, BPD is not the only agency looking at activity associated with the alleged charges and the investigation is ongoing.
