A Clarkston man was arrested for stealing a large dump truck from Lewiston.
Authorities say 52-year-old Raymond Wetmore-Tinney allegedly took the dump truck Tuesday afternoon from the parking lot of A&B Foods on the 1200 block of Eighth Street.
A short time later an Asotin County Sheriff’s deputy observed the truck making an illegal turn in Clarkston and pursued the vehicle into a residential neighborhood in the Clarkston Heights.
Wetmore-Tinney exited the truck and officers questioned the man and noticed a strong smell of alcohol emanating from the man.
Wetmore-Tinney was arrested for possession of a stolen motor vehicle and transported to the Asotin County Jail, where he was also served two misdemeanor assault warrants. Bond was set at $10,000.
