The Indiana State Police have arrested a 44-year-old Oakland City man after finding a stolen vehicle and approximately 700 feet of copper wire on his property, Thursday evening.
Around 6:00 p.m. yesterday, an ISP trooper was patroling in Oakland City when he spotted a 1999 Chevrolet Venture that had been reported stolen in Pike County. The vehicle was parked in a driveway located at 323 South Lincoln Street in Oakland City. The trooper also observed several hundred feet of copper wire that matched the description of wiring that was stolen recently from a warehouse in Gibson County. After a search warrant was obtained, Indiana State Police troopers searched the property and located approximately 700 feet of stolen copper wire and drug paraphernalia. The homeowner, 44 year old Daniel Goodman was arrested and taken to the Gibson County Jail where he later posted bond and was released. The copper wire and stolen van were seized by the officers.
