Edmonson Voice Report: Two individuals were arrested after law enforcement said they were caught in the act of attempting to steal a car on Monday. According to the Edmonson County Sheriff's Office, deputies were dispatched at approximately 4:30 pm on Monday, November 30, 2020, to the 1100block of Silent Grove Church Road to the report of an attempted car theft. A press release from the Sheriff's Office said deputies found a BMW loaded on a trailer that was hooked to a running truck with the driver’s door open with no occupants inside. The Sheriff's Office said Brandon Coy (32) of Brownsville and Sydney Sawyer (20) of Bee Spring were both located behind a barn on the Silent Grove Church Road property, and both reportedly admitted to arriving in the pickup truck that was being used to steal the BMW. Law enforcement said that both parties reported a third individual had been on scene with them but had fled when deputies arrived. Coy and Sawyer were both charged and arrested for Theft by Unlawful Taking or Disposition Auto--$500 or more but under $10,000. Coy was also served a Criminal Summons out of Grayson County for Theft by Unlawful Taking or Disposition All Others—Under $500.00. Both Coy and Sawyer were lodged in Hart County Jail. The Sheriff's Office said local dispatch received a complaint of a second stolen vehicle the next day, located less than two miles from where the attempted BMW theft had occurred.
"It is believed that the individual who had fled the scene the day before with Coy and Sawyer is responsible for this theft," said a statement from the Sheriff's Office. "The stolen vehicle is a 1998 black Chevy step-side pick-up truck with a red tailgate; the vehicle belongs to Lakota Wilson of Brownsville Road." The Edmonson County Sheriff’s Office has a suspect in the theft of the pick-up and anyone with information is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 270-597-2157 or Edmonson County dispatch at 270-597-2729.
