Theft: Jesse James Tinsley, 32, of 115 Jefferson Road, Franklin Township, was charged by Greene County Regional police with three counts each of theft and receiving stolen property and one count each of unauthorized use of an automobile, theft from a motor vehicle and driving while under suspension after a man reported his truck and tractor were stolen last week. Police said Tinsley allegedly stole a tractor and a purple truck belonging to David Conaway from Conaway’s parents’ residence in Jefferson. Tinsley then allegedly sold the tractor for $200 to a pawn dealer in Wayne Township April 17. When the dealer asked Tinsley if the tractor was stolen, “Tinsley swore ‘on my child’s heartbeat’ that it was not stolen,” the complaint said. Conaway told police he saw the truck behind Tinsley’s residence without a license plate. Police filed an arrest warrant for Tinsley April 19.
