Sheriff Patrick Ray said that from February 15 through May 9 Bohannon stole six vehicle batteries, gas, and 45 gallon buckets of hydraulic fluid from the DeKalb County Landfill on Felts Road. The total value of the property stolen is $3,705.
Bohannon was identified as the suspect after his image was caught on surveillance cameras set up at the landfill by a sheriff’s department detective.
Meanwhile, 44 year old Peggy Rochelle Bain of Morgan Drive, Smithville is charged with being a fugitive from justice. She is under a $4,500 bond and her court date is August 9.

Authorities there plan to extradite her.
