A Vidor man was arrested for stealing tires from a local business on Jan. 26, according to a press release by the Beaumont Police Department (BPD).

BPD reported that, at 10:36 a.m. on Jan. 26, officers responded to Discount Tire on Stagg Drive in reference to a theft in progress. When officers arrived on the scene they stopped a Chevrolet Silverado truck at 11th and Stagg Drive. The truck, driven by Max Shayne White, 55, had eight tires in the bed of the truck.

Officers spoke to a witness, who reportedly observed White enter a storage container and remove tires. The storage container and tires belong to Liberty Tire Recycling.

White was arrested and transported to the Jefferson County Correctional Facility; he was booked in for burglary of a building and bond was set at $7,500.
