GREENWOOD, Ind. — Johnson County deputies recovered a stolen car and arrested a Carmel man around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Robert Dagley, 23, was out of gas at the Speedway convenience store on Smith Valley Road when a deputy pulled into the business. Dagley asked the deputy for advice and began a conversation with him, following the policeman back to his cruiser. The officer became suspicious and ran the plate number on the car as he left the location. The car was reported stolen from Shelby County so the officer returned to talk to Dagley. Dagley told police he had permission to use the car from his girlfriend. The officer explained the situation and placed him in handcuffs. During a search of the vehicle police found a syringe.
Dagley was taken to the Johnson County Jail and charged with possession of a syringe, possession of stolen property, and theft.
