A Cherokee County man has been arrested, charged with
selling marine-related items he was paid to repair, according to Cherokee
County Sheriff Jeff Shaver.
For more than a year, the sheriff’s office has been
investigating stolen watercraft and marine parts.
Elbert “Tony” Pack was arrested Monday on two counts of
second-degree theft by deception, and one count each of first-degree theft of
property, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, illegal possession of
prescription drugs and second-degree receiving stolen property.
According to reports, Pack was falsely operating as the
owner of Weiss Marina in Cedar Bluff. A press release from the sheriff’s office
said there were several reports of Pack allegedly being hired to repair or sell
marine-related items, but instead the items turned up missing.
According to Shaver, investigators have recovered two stolen
boats and two stolen jet skis so far that Pack sold to other people.
Shaver asks that anyone who has done business with Pack and
is missing property to please contact the Investigations Division at the
Sheriff’s Office by calling 256-927-3365.
