The driver told police when he arrived at the location, two men met him and said they had three new 2025 Corvettes needing to be transported. He added he noted damage on the bottom of a car and called police telling dispatchers he felt the transaction was “weird.”

Police got to the scene and captured one suspect after chasing him in the parking lot. The other suspect got away driving a Jeep with Ohio license plates. The suspect, Deantae Walker, was taken into custody and refused to speak to officers. Walker is being held in the Warren County Regional Jail.
