Man charged with stealing truck
A 29-year-old Dubuque man has been charged in Crawford County Circuit Court with one count of operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
Jason Ryan Feuerhelm faces up to $10,500 in fines and six years and 30 days imprisonment if convicted of both counts.
According to the criminal complaint, an Allamakee County, Iowa resident reported to the Allamakee County Sheriff’s Department that his truck had been stolen from his residence on Aug. 25.
On Aug. 26, the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department received a call from another man who said that he had seen the stolen vehicle being driven on Highway 35 in the town of Seneca in Crawford County. The man knew the vehicle was stolen because he had been informed by his friend from Allamakee County that his friend’s truck had been stolen. The man also knew what his friend’s truck looked like.
The truck was eventually found by Crawford County Sheriff’s deputies stopped north of Prairie du Chien. A deputy identified the driver of the truck as Jason Feuerhelm.
The truck was searched and a syringe was discovered. Feuerhelm told deputies that the syringe was for meth, according to the complaint.
