Three men are accused of trying to sell a stolen guitar to the salesman who originally sold it to the man it was stolen from, police said.
Jeff Blount returned home late Sunday after a performance with his disco cover band Superfreak, and left his prized Modulus five-string bass in his truck.
The next day began on a sour note when he saw that his guitar had been stolen from the back seat.
"First thing I did was call the police," Blount said
Then he called the Guitar Center employee who sold him the $4,500 instrument, asking him to keep his eyes and ears open, Blount said.
"I had a feeling that they might be coming in,” Blount said. “Within about 30 minutes of that, he texted me back saying that the guitar was there in the store and they had a couple guys trying to sell it. I was shocked. He said he called the police."
Zackery Devereaux, Raul Rodriguez and Trevor Dockrey were arrested, police said.
Officers asked Blount to look at the items in the men’s sports utility vehicle for any other stolen property.
"There was dozens of phones and GPS and cameras and tools," Blount said.
Devereaux, Rodriguez and Dockrey are suspected of breaking into to several cars in Blount's gated neighborhood, police said.
"Glad everything kind of turned out the way that it did and these guys are in jail," Blount said.
Devereaux, Rodriguez and Dockrey are facing charges of receiving and concealing stolen property, police said.
