Police find missing AC units

LISA SHEARER

EDMOND — A phone call to police about an air conditioner being removed from a local apartment complex lead to pallets of 20 air conditioners belonging to the University of Central Oklahoma sitting stacked in a back yard.

A police report by Officer Jonathan Cramer states that he and Officer Anthony Fite responded to Kickingbird Apartments, 1700 Kickingbird Road, after 7 p.m. Oct. 20. Upon arriving, a witness told the officers that a white male and a white female were seen removing air conditioning units from the complex and placing them in a black Ford pickup, the report states.

Officer Cramer reports he saw a black Ford Ranger pickup parked on the north side of the complex with three air conditioning units in the bed of the pickup.

A suspect seen walking away from the pickup was detained and a female suspect was sitting underneath a tree about 100 years away, the report states.

The suspect initially told Officer Fite that the AC units were advertised on Craig’s List and were free. He then told the officer he found the units on the side of the road in Logan County, but could not be more specific, the report states.

The female suspect told police that three other units already had been unloaded from the pickup and those were found in a wooded area east of the apartment complex.

The investigation lead to a backyard in the area of Ayers and Chartrand where 20 AC units were on pallets in the yard. Police later found that those units came from a UCO storage building near Chartrand.

Arrested was Aaron Travis Gibson, 26, of Oklahoma City on a complaint of concealing stolen property, the report states.

Not every incident leads to a charge under the law. If charges are filed, innocence or guilt is determined by a court of law.
