“Hollywood” movie turns out bogus
2:41 a.m. — First Block of North Yonge Street. Recovered Stolen Vehicle. An officer was flagged down at a gas station by the victim. He said that at 11 p.m., he was at a truck stop standing next to his towing company vehicle when he was approached by the suspect who was wearing a bounty hunter I.D.
The suspect asked the victim to pick up a vehicle from an address in Jacksonville and bring it back to the truck stop. The suspect said he was working on a Hollywood movie and needed someone to pick up the vehicle.
The victim agreed, so the suspect gave keys to the victim. The victim then drove to Jacksonville and picked up the vehicle. When he returned and got close to the truck stop, he called the suspect. The suspect said he could not take possession of the vehicle because he was going to the hospital. He asked the victim to take it to a secure facility.
The victim then became suspicious, thinking that the suspect might have a GPS locator on the vehicle and be able to pick It up from the facility without paying. When he saw an officer, he flagged him down.
The officer ran the vehicle through the computer system and found that it was reported stolen out of South Carolina.
The officer had the vehicle towed to a lot to be held for fingerprinting.
