Roanoke, LA (KPLC) - A woman is credited with using a tracking app on her cell phone to help authorities locate a stolen vehicle, according to the Jefferson Davis Sheriff’s Office.
Chief Deputy Christopher Ivey says, deputies were dispatched to the area around Welsh Roanoke Junior High School around 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 28, after they received a report of a stolen vehicle.
