ST. CHARLES, Minn. – Deputies arrested a trucker as he was pulling out of the Love’s fueling station in a semi-rig that had been stolen 90 miles away near Sparta, Wisconsin. Arrested was Keith Michael Lee, 42, of Rapid City. South Dakota. A GPS tracker aboard the rig had pinged to authorities in Monroe County, Wisconsin, who radioed the location at Love’s to Winona County. Deputies intercepted the rig. Lee was taken 25 miles to the Winona jail and booked as in possession of a stolen vehicle. Charges also were expected from Wisconsin. Deputies said Lee was uncommunicative. The rig itself, a 2006 Freightliner, would have little resale value. Deputies were unsure of the cargo’s value.
Lee. South Dakotan in jail. Not talking.
