Jasper County deputies interrupt in-progress theft of 4-wheeler

(From the Jasper County Sheriff's Office)

At approximately 9:00 AM, 03-27-26, Jasper County Sheriff deputies were dispatched to the area of County Road 220 and Baseline in reference to a suspicious vehicle. The reporting party indicated a car had parked directly behind his house during the night. The reporting party indicated he was not familiar with the vehicle and that it was not occupied.

Upon arrival deputies began searching the area. While searching, the deputies were notified of an in- progress theft of a four-wheeler about a mile to the south, near County Road 230 and Pine. 

Upon arrival at that scene, a subject had abandoned the four-wheeler and was found standing behind a
residence nearby.

The deputies observed the subject, later identified as Zachery G. Greeson, 28, Fargo, North Dakota
had no pants on. He was arrested without incident. During a consent search of the backpack he was
wearing, a baggie containing approximately 225 grams of powder cocaine and a baggie containing
roughly the same amount of ketamine was located.

Greeson indicated he was on his way from North Dakota to Alabama and while en route became
concerned about being the victim of an air strike. He said he pulled off the main highway to hide his car behind a house during the night. He stated as he was running through the woods during the night when his pants got hung up on barb wire and were ripped off.

Greeson has been charged with possession and trafficking of a controlled substance, burglary (he entered into a barn to steal the four-wheeler) and first degree trespassing. He is currently being held at the Jasper County Jail. Charges have been submitted to the Jasper County Prosecutor's Office for consideration.
