DAVENPORT – On Jan. 17 the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office received a complaint from a Davenport citizen who reported that his wallet was stolen from the Davenport Car Wash as he was detailing his vehicle.
Sergeant Gabe Gants took the initial report and was able to gather information on a potential suspect vehicle. A few hours later the reporting party notified Gants that his debit card had just been used at the Airway Heights Walmart in the sum of $500. Deputy Tinsley contacted Airway Heights Police Department and Walmart to review security footage.
On Jan. 19 Deputy Cunningham received a report of a vehicle that had been involved in a collision and abandoned just north of Davenport. The abandoned vehicle matched the description of the vehicle involved in the reported wallet theft that was reported on Jan. 17.
The vehicle returned to a Nathan Mora. Mora was known to be living with Catherine Herrman in the Ross Street Apartments inside the city limits of Davenport. Mora also had an unrelated arrest warrant from a Reardan Police Department theft case. Cunningham responded to the Ross Street address and made contact with Herrman. Herrman stated she and Mora had broken up and she did not know where he was.
On the evening of Jan. 19 Tinsley and Sergeant McLagan received the security camera footage of the person using the stolen debit card. In the footage Herrman was instantly recognized by Jail Superintendent Lyle Hendrickson and McLagan as the person using the stolen card. Herrman was also observed in the Walmart video footage getting into the passenger seat of the silver Chrysler 300 that was found abandoned just north of Davenport on Jan. 19.
McLagan, Chief Criminal Deputy Becker, Deputy Evans, Deputy Eylar, and Reardan Police Chief Andy Manke served a search warrant at the Ross Street Address on Jan. 20. Mora was found hiding inside the residence and arrested on an un-related arrest warrant. Herrman provided deputies with all the stolen items and the stolen wallet. Also located were over 13 methamphetamine pipes, hundreds of syringes and needles, and what is believed to be methamphetamine and heroin. McLagan applied for a second warrant to seize all the narcotic related items.
Our public safety team works together and communicates to assure that all of our resources are working as a team, which resulted in the arrest and booking of Herrman for 3 counts of theft 2nd degree, identity theft, and possession of controlled substance. Mora was booked into jail on an outstanding warrant and possession of controlled substance.
