Suspect in Livingston utility trailer theft arrested in Marshall County

An investigation into the theft of a utility trailer has led to a Benton man's arrest.

The Livingston County Sheriff's Office had asked for the public's help with identifying the owner of a white Ford van on September 7 that was believed to have been involved in the theft of a loaded utility trailer.

After receiving several tips from the public, a Marshall County deputy located the suspect, identified as 75-year-old Robert Baker, and he was charged with theft by unlawful taking.

Detectives later located the stolen trailer in Princeton, and returned it to the owner.
