Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin said a Gadsden man was arrested in Mississippi, after he apparently took a road trip to New Orleans in a stolen truck.
58 year old Barry Keith Drenner is facing a number of charges – including theft of property, possession of a forged instrument and fraudulent use of a credit card.
He is being held in the Etowah County Detention Center on bond of 4,694.
Investigators say he took a 2005 Toyota Tacoma truck last December without permission;
He allegedly then drove to New Orleans – and used the victim’s identification to cash checks written on a closed account.
He was eventually arrested in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and brought back to Etowah County to face charges.
