An Armuchee man has been arrested on a felony warrant charging him with theft by conversion.

According to the warrant, 41-year-old Timothy Jacob Morgan allegedly took a woman’s 2010 Subaru Legacy on June 4 under the promise he would perform mechanic work for $300. The warrant says Morgan was paid a total of $1,143 for parts and services, but by November he stopped responding to the woman’s requests to get her vehicle back.

Authorities say the vehicle was moved from Morgan’s shop to an unknown location sometime between November and January.
