Man Arrested in Coffee County for Selling Vehicle Without Owner’s Consent

COFFEE COUNTY, Ga. — A 32-year-old man has been arrested after investigators determined he sold a vehicle without the owner’s authorization while the owner was incarcerated, according to the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office.

Cameron Blake Spires was taken into custody following an investigation into the sale of a tan 2005 Lexus RX. Detectives said the vehicle’s registered owner had not approved the sale or transfer.

Authorities determined the vehicle was sold for approximately $700. The Douglas Police Department later recovered the Lexus during a traffic stop, and it is being held pending return to the rightful owner or a designated representative.

Investigators said evidence including witness statements, transaction records and recorded jail communications confirmed the unauthorized sale. After interviewing Spires, detectives established probable cause to charge him with theft by conversion.

The case involved the Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division, the Drug Interdiction and Criminal Enforcement Unit, patrol deputies and the Douglas Police Department.

Officials said the investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may be pending. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division at 912-384-4227.
