Suspect faces felony charge after car stolen in Davenport ends up in Colorado
A 50-year-old Miles, Iowa, man faces a felony charge after police allege a car stolen from a Davenport dealership was found in Colorado.
Edward Randall faces a charge of first-degree theft, court records say.
On Jan. 24, police say a theft occurred at Patriot Lincoln of Davenport, 520 W. Kimberly Road.
Randall, police allege in affidavits, was in the process of purchasing a 2018 Toyota Camry valued at $15,443 from the dealership. He was allowed to drive the Camry off the lot with the stipulation that it would be returned immediately with the agreed-upon $1,000 cash deposit.
Randall “did not return to Patriot Lincoln of Davenport with the $1,000 deposit or to return the vehicle,” police allege in affidavits.
Patriot Lincoln tried to contact Randall over the period of one month to obtain the $1,000 deposit or the car, but could not make contact, arrest affidavits say.
The car was stopped in Brush, Colorado, by the Brush Colorado Police, and the Camry was impounded. Randall tried to retrieve the car from the Brush Colorado Police Department’s impound lot after it was impounded on March 28, police say in affidavits.
Ramdall, who was arrested on a warrant, was released on his own recognizance. He is set for a preliminary hearing April 30 in Scott County Court.
Brush is about 747 miles from Davenport, according to Google maps.
