A detective with the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office say they have arrested a Jeanerette man for pretending to be an interested buyer of a four wheeler, but he is accused instead of stealing it.

The deputy says information led him to 18-year-old Ke'von Loston.

The detective says Loston posed as a potential buyer of a four wheeler that he saw on Craigslist.

Loston is accused of calling the seller, saying he wanted to test drive the vehicle, and he met the seller on Penn Road.

Loston took off on the four wheeler, driving it away from the Jeanerette location where the two met.

The detective found Loston at his home, and he was booked with theft.

He later bonded out of jail.
