Browns Bound Over After Accused Rig Theft
A man named Brown faces charges of stealing a vehicle valued at about 1000 dollars. He denies the charge claiming he hired a rig to drive cross country to start a fire in a jail calaboose and escape. Officials say Brown may be Gilson, though he insists he uses the surname Brown and never others. Olmsted presents a conflicting account linking Brown to a prior theft in Warrensburg in October.
