An Ellis County man has been arrested in connection with the alleged theft of a vehicle from Auto World in Hays.
Deputy Hays Police Chief Brian Dawson said surveillance footage from the dealership, 722 E. Eighth St., showed a suspect stealing a black and gold 2011 Dodge Ram pickup in July 2024.
Dawson said a tip from Jan. 3 led to the arrest of 19-year-old Jayden Dravon Sellers, alleged to be the person identified in the surveillance footage. The vehicle was valued at $19,495.
According to Dawson, Sellers refused to answer during questioning and was booked into the Ellis County Jail on Jan. 8 for alleged felony property theft.
