A Pike County man who was seen on camera stealing tires from a Pikeville auto repair shop yesterday is now facing charges relating to multiple thefts in Pike County. Around 11 30 a.m. employees at City Tire and Auto called the Pikeville Police Department after seeing 24-year-old Brandon Dameron steal tires from an outside display. He did not come in the store but he did ask one of the guys that he needed air. At that time he proceeded to take tires from the rack outside. He took two, covered them up and did take a third one but decided to put that one back. Within minutes of receiving the call officers located Dameron's vehicle and attempted to stop him. The vehicle stopped. A female bailed out of the vehicle ran into the parking structure at the PMC. The male subject got over in the driver's side of the vehicle and took off of Harold's branch. Several hours later officers located and arrested Dameron without incident and during their investigation they discovered several other stolen items including computers from Betsy Lane Elementary School, flat-screen TVs from Pikeville RV and tools belonging to Millard Vocational School. So what would have originally been a misdemeanor charge is now a felony. The theft he committed of City Tire and Auto which would have been a hundred, five hundred theft. It was two tires. I'm gonna guess probably sixty, seventy dollars a piece. Which that led into we're looking at now ten thousand dollars worth of merchandise probably. Dameron who also had four outstanding warrants against him is charged with felony theft charges and first degree fleeing and evading. He remains lodged in the Pike County Detention Center. The female who exited the vehicle during the traffic stop was located in the PMC parking garage but she was not charged. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shannon Deskins.
