Branson and Isenhour were encountered while police were performing a security check at Weddle’s Transmission on East Pine Street. They fled the scene, ignoring officers’ commands to stop, but subsequently were apprehended. The two allegedly had removed a car stereo valued at $100 from a vehicle there, also causing $100 in damage. Branson and Isenhour further were linked to a crime at another business on East Pine Street, Marshall Auto Sales, where catalytic converters were cut off five vehicles — a loss put at $1,000.
