Minutes later Officers arrived on scene and detained Evans and a female passenger. Evans provided Officers with a fake name, most likely because he had a felony warrant for his arrest out of Pasco for theft of a motor vehicle.
Officers watched the security video of the theft and the male in the video was wearing the same clothing that Evans still had on. During the course of the investigation, Officers learned that right after the theft, Evans met up with another male and sold the catalytic converter for $50. When Evans was searched he still had the $50 on his person. Officers were able to recover the catalytic converter and get it back to its owners. The $50 went back to the male who bought the catalytic converter and Evans went to jail for felony theft and trafficking of stolen property.
The investigation into the other thefts involving catalytic converters is still ongoing.
