On an early Sunday morning, law enforcement officers from Iredell County responded to a residence in the Troutman area following a report of a vehicle being stolen from the caller’s driveway. Subsequently, deputies gathered information about the stolen car and initiated a search of the vicinity.
Shortly thereafter, Iredell County deputies sighted the stolen vehicle being driven through downtown Statesville. A pursuit ensued after deputies attempted to pull over the vehicle, but the driver evaded capture. Despite the suspect crashing the vehicle and fleeing on foot, deputies managed to discover incriminating evidence inside the stolen vehicle that linked back to the suspect.

Following interviews and examination of evidence retrieved from the stolen car, detectives were able to identify a 15-year-old male teenager as the individual responsible for driving the stolen car and breaking into other vehicles throughout the night.
Furthermore, an 18-year-old named Steven Michael Potts from Statesville was identified as an accomplice to the juvenile in the car break-ins and the theft of the second vehicle. Arrest warrants were issued for Potts, leading to his apprehension on Thursday.
