Stereo equipment stolen from cars

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

Stereo equipment has been taken from vehicles at three locations in Shelbyville since Sunday, police report.

* Compact disc players and camera monitors were taken from three concrete trucks at Sequatchie Concrete, Madison Street, overnight Monday.

An employee told police a GPS display module was missing from one of the trucks.

* Stereo systems were stolen from a truck and two cars at Deals on Wheels, Madison Street, between 8 and 8:40 a.m. Sunday.

A video surveillance system at the business allowed Officer Jerry Lawrence to view the in-dash players and an amplifier and speakers being taken.

* The compact disc player was taken from a car at Auto Plus, Madison Street, overnight Monday.

Pornography suspect

Another suspect has been arrested as a result of Shelbyville detective Charles Merlo's Internet work.

Donald Eugene Deakle, 44, Maryville, has been charged with sexual exploitation of a minor, solicitation of a minor. He is being held on $45,000 bond at Bedford County Jail.

Deakle may face additional charges in Blount County due to having pornographic images of children on his computer, Merlo said.

Merlo enters chat rooms and portrays a 13-year-old girl, then arrests suspects when they come to Shelbyville to meet their "friend."
