VOLUSIA COUNTY, Florida (WESH) — An Ocala man has been arrested after police say he went on a massive crime spree through Volusia County.
Charles Harrington is accused of breaking into several buildings, stealing two trucks, a car, a four-wheeler and a forklift.
Deputies found one of the trucks stuck in mud.
Authorities say Harrington rode around in the truck until it got stuck at the back of a property in Pierson. Officials say the vehicle’s catalytic converter had been cut off.
Authorities say they began to get more reports of Harrington’s other crimes.
First deputies got a report of another stolen car, along with a pair of shoes, cigarettes and a lighter from a home. Officials say a report then came in of a stolen four-wheeler from a different resident.
After that call, deputies said they got a report that a person was riding the four-wheeler at a fernery property. The man took off running after asking to drink from the sprinklers, authorities say.
