TN suspect nabbed in car theft

Last week, theft of a McCreary
County automobile led law enforcement
officers in two states to
become involved in capturing the
alleged perpetrator.
McCreary County Sheriff Randy
Waters reports the owner of a 2018
Toyota RAV-4 called local 911 to
report the theft of her vehicle on
Thursday (9-1-22) at approximately
10:11 a.m. According to the
KYIBRS report, a woman was near
her vehicle at her residence on Day
Ridge Road when a male subject
came from behind and told her he
was taking the vehicle. When the
victim told the perpetrator she was
calling the law, he responded that he
was in trouble in Tennessee, would
rather the law not be called, and
said he would return the vehicle to
the owner. The perpetrator then got
in the vehicle and drove off. At the
time of the McCreary County theft,
the perpetrator was described as being
about 5’8” tall with blonde hair.
He was wearing a ball cap, green
sweater, green back pack, and wore
a mask over his face.
McCreary County Sheriff’s Deputy
Tom Smith opened a case and
entered the vehicle as stolen in
NCIC.
Later that evening, the alleged
same man, armed with a knife,
stole a vehicle from a Valero station
in Casey County, later wrecking
the second stolen vehicle a few
miles down the road where he fled
on foot. Later in the night in the
same area, the same male allegedly
stole a silver 2019 Toyota Camry
with a gun located inside of it. At
that point, the perpetrator was considered
armed and dangerous. The
vehicle stolen in McCreary County
was located abandoned in Casey
County.
On Friday (9-2-22), the alleged
perpetrator was arrested at approximately
4:05 p.m. by the Salem City,
Indiana police. Twenty-five year
old Isaac Corbin Beck of Tennessee
was charged with Auto Theft and
lodged in the Washington County
(Indiana) Jail.
