Georgia men arrested for stealing anhydrous

Deputies from the Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office caught two suspects from Georgia trying to steal anhydrous ammonia from Southern States early Tuesday morning.
While on routine patrol, Deputy David Reeves noticed a vehicle parked on Tyler Grade near Suwannee Valley Feeds (formerly Gro-More) around 2 a.m. Sgt. Edwin Jenkins and Deputy Wayne Dasher responded as backup.
All three deputies made contact with the two individuals, Callen Quinton Kincaid, 35, of Homerville, Georgia and Benny Finch, 27.

Evidence in the car and around the area gave deputies probable cause to believe anhydrous ammonia had bee taken from storage tanks at Southern States. According to the Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office, two silver propane tanks were found along the old railroad tracks between Southern States and Tyler Grade. Both appeared to have anhydrous ammonia inside.
A hazmat team was called to dispose of the chemical and the two suspects were arrested and transported to the Gilchrist County Jail where they were booked for Theft of Anhydrous, Burglary, and Possession of Burglary Tools. In addition, Callen Kincaid had a warrant for failure to appear for a previous trespass charge, which was served on him at the time of his arrest.
