Amador County – A Mokelumne Hill man has been arrested in connection with the theft of property from Jeff Holman’s Auto Sales in Martell. Gary Fielden McMahan, 25, has been arrested and charged with stolen property. The Amador County Sheriff’s Office investigated a report filed on September 10, 2010 and discovered that two sets of keys had been stolen from the dealership building, as well as a cellular telephone stolen from a patron’s vehicle that was parked at the business. Witnesses on scene reported seeing a possible suspect earlier in the afternoon loitering around the business. The suspect was described as a white male adult, 25-30 years of age, with a shaved head, numerous tattoos, wearing a sleeveless white shirt and carrying a backpack. Soon after, Sheriff’s Deputies took a report from a 70-year-old female whose wallet was stolen at Safeway. The victim said she was shopping when she was approached by a suspect she described as similar to the one spotted at Jeff Holman’s Auto Sales. “The victim said the subject asked her to assist him with picking out some merchandise. After assisting him, she subsequently realized she was missing her wallet and she ultimately called the Sheriff’s Office,” said Undersheriff Jim Wegner in a release Wednesday. Wegner said Amador County Sheriff’s Deputies conducted checks of businesses and parking areas in the Martell area. A deputy sheriff subsequently located and detained McMahan in a vehicle parked at WalMart. A search of McMahan and his vehicle resulted in the recovery of the keys stolen from Jeff Holman Auto Sales. The wallet and cellular telephone were not located. This investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information related to these crimes, or any other criminal activity are asked to contact the Amador County Sheriff’s Office at (209) 223-6500.
