The sheriff’s office said its criminal investigations division and SWAT team assisted the Union Pacific Railroad Police in executing search warrants at the homes as part of a long-term investigation into the theft of about $2 million in Milwaukee Tools from cargo containers. The ATF and FBI also assisted with the operation.
DCSO has not released any details about the train car heist or the locations where some of the tools were found but said Macon Herron was taken into custody.
During the searches, authorities said they also recovered a stolen Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a stolen Can-Am Renegade ATV, and a Glock pistol with a machine gun switch.
Herron already has an active arrest warrant out of Crittenden County, Arkansas, and a prior arrest record for receiving stolen property, the sheriff’s office said.
Herron is now facing two counts of felony receiving stolen property and prohibited possession of a machine gun conversion device.
Investigators said the case is ongoing, and there could be additional charges or arrests.
