The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office arrested Cameron Blake Spires ,32, of Coffee County, in connection with the unauthorized sale of a tan 2005 Lexus RX.
Detectives say the case began after they received information about the suspicious sale of the SUV. During the investigation, they determined the registered owner was in jail at the time and had not approved the sale or transfer of the vehicle.
Authorities say evidence including witness statements, transaction records, and recorded jail communications showed the SUV was sold for about $700.

Following an interview with Spires and a review of the evidence, investigators say they established probable cause to charge him with theft by conversion under Georgia law.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities say additional charges could be filed.
