The Dalton Police Department is looking for a suspect who stole a John Deere Gator utility truck from Dalton High School and abandoned it in a nearby neighborhood.
The incident happened around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 11. A man walking near the school called 911 to report the theft in progress when he saw a young white male, described as being between 15 and 18 years old with dark hair, riding the Gator and “doing donuts” in the school’s parking lot. He then drove it out of the Manly Street construction entrance, driving south on Davidson Drive with no lights on. Officers canvassed the area, ultimately spotting the Gator in some bushes behind a home on Westerly Drive. Investigators processed the Gator for evidence and returned it to the school, where it is used by the baseball and softball teams.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to please contact Detective Jason Bishop at (706) 278-9085, extension 214.
