Men arrested after owner follows stolen truck in downtown Spokane

Two men were arrested in a stolen truck after the owner spotted his vehicle on Division Street and called 911.

Raymond D. Lindley, 33, who was in the front passenger seat, and Jameel P. Henriksen, 34, who was in the back passenger seat, were arrested Friday evening and drugs, a stolen gun and counterfeit money were recovered from inside the truck, according to a news release from the Spokane Police Department.

A woman who had been driving the truck was questioned but not arrested, the release said.

The owner told 911 he was following his stolen truck on Division, approaching downtown, according to the release. Several patrol officers pulled over the vehicle on Spokane Falls Boulevard.

Inside the truck, officers found two counterfeit $50 bills, a bag containing “a substantial amount” of methamphetamine, and other bags containing meth and heroin, according to the news release. They also found a handgun that was reported stolen in Seattle two years ago.

Police said they believe other items found in the truck may have been stolen, including jewelry, tools and tires.

Lindley faces charges of possession of a stolen vehicle, illegal possession of a firearm as a felon, and drug possession with intent to deliver. Henrikson faces charges of drug possession with intent to deliver. Both remained in the Spokane County Jail on Saturday.
