Arrest made after man sells 7 vehicles, military trailer and deer stand that weren’t his

An arrest of a former Mountain Home man has been made after he sold seven vehicles, a military trailer and a deer stand that weren’t his. Forty-two-year-old Ricky Dale Glover Jr., who now lists a Jonesboro address, is facing three charges, one of them a felony, for the illegal sales.According to the probable cause affidavit from the Baxter County Sheriff’s Office, the victim, who was dealing with health problems, learned Glover had facilitated the removal of the items from his property and had sold them to another individual.
Investigators learned from the buyer that Glover had told him Glover was helping the victim clear the land and asked if he wanted to purchase the vehicles. The person is in the business of buying old cars, so he agreed. The man paid Glover in cash.

The sales were conducted on two days in November. The first day had a bill of sale with Glover’s actual driver’s license number on it. The second day’s bill of sale had a bogus driver’s license number.

The buyer spent two days going to the victim’s property to remove the vehicles and had to cut down some trees to get to them. Three of the seven vehicles were unrepairable, so the buyer sold them for scrap. The other vehicles he posted on Facebook.

The victim’s caregiver recognized the vehicles and called to inquire about them. The man said he had purchased them from Glover. Once the buyer realized Glover had no authority to sell the items, he cooperated with investigators and provided testimony along with pictures, text messages, video and bills of sale showing Glover selling him the vehicles along with the trailer and deer stand.

In one of the pictures, Glover was seen riding a Honda Goldwing motorcycle that was also reported missing from the victim’s property. The motorcycle, along with an electric bicycle, were not returned to the victim. The motorcycle is valued at $18,000 and electric bike is valued at $1,200.

The victim says the seven vehicles are valued at $24,500, the trailer is worth $1,500 and the deer stand is valued at $200.

Glover is facing felony charges of theft of property and theft by receiving along with misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass and second degree criminal mischief for the incident involving the vehicles. His bond is set at $33,800. He also had misdemeanor warrants out of Baxter County and the City of Gassville for failure to pay fines and he is being held for a parole violation out of Izard County.

Glover was arrested during a traffic stop in the early morning hours of Dec. 27 in which he was a passenger in a vehicle that pulled over. The deputy noted in his report Glover was acting nervous and avoided eye contact with law enforcement.

When deputies got the men out of the vehicle to conduct a search, they found a debit card with the name Ricky Dale Glover on it. They ran the name through the Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC) system and determined Glover had four warrants.

When deputies informed Glover of his warrants, he said that was his brother and his name was Quentin. He eventually told deputies he was Ricky and he was taken into custody. He also picked up a misdemeanor charge of obstructing governmental operations for giving the wrong name.
