A stolen Apple iPad reported missing in Tennessee was recovered by the Summerville Police Department after tracking information led officers to a residence on Scoggins Street.
According to a report filed by the Summerville Police Department, officers responded on June 14 after Sarah Trimble of Gadsden, Alabama, reported that her Apple iPad Pro 5 had been stolen from her vehicle while she was in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Trimble told police she was able to track the device using a location service, which indicated the iPad was located at a residence in the 100 block of Scoggins Street in Summerville. She provided officers with identifying information, including the serial number, to confirm the device.
Officer J. Pledger responded to the residence and spoke with occupants there. According to the report, one of the residents, identified as Cassie Marie Patterson, 22, of Summerville, voluntarily surrendered an iPad matching the description of the stolen device.
Police verified the serial number and confirmed the tablet belonged to the victim.
Patterson told officers she had purchased the iPad from an unknown individual at a Chattanooga gas station around 2 a.m. on June 14 for $50, according to the report.
The recovered device, valued at approximately $530, was turned over to law enforcement and later returned to its owner.
Patterson was charged by the Summerville Police Department with Theft By Receiving Property Stolen In Another State.
A supplemental report indicates that the victim later advised police she did not wish to pursue further legal action because of concerns about creating hardship for Patterson’s children. The victim requested only that her property be returned and declined prosecution. Police subsequently cleared and closed the case.
