A Daytona Beach man was arrested after police said he tried to sell a stolen vehicle back to its owner.
Devin Holt-Thayer, 20, was charged with felony dealing in stolen property and felony grand theft Friday when police got a call from car owner Walter Potts. Potts told police he got a phone call from a man who said someone knew where his stolen car was, according to the police report.
Potts was told to meet at the Save-a-Lot, 288 Nova Road, with $150 and someone would bring him his car keys. Officers accompanied Potts, keeping an eye on the transaction from an unmarked car.
When Thayer arrived at the Save-a-Lot, showed the keys and asked for the money officers approached the pair, the report states. When Thayer noticed the officers he ran away, heading east toward the parking lot of O'Reilly Auto Parts, 145 N. Nova. He tried to hide inside, police said.
Thayer was found in aisle and told police he had hid the keys. He then told police he was paid $10 to give the keys to Potts, the report states.
Thayer was also charged with misdemeanor resisting officers without violence and Potts wants to press charges, police said.
Thayer was being held Monday at the Volusia County Branch Jail on $2,500 bail.

He should have stuck with selling stolen buggies like the rest of his Amish cousins.
To paraphrase Rick James:
Methamphetamine is a hell of a drug!
A victim of white privilege.
