Stuck U-Haul Leads Deputies To Burglary Suspect
WILLOW SPRING — A man has been charged in a November break-in after investigators allege he left a U-Haul truck — filled with stolen property — stuck in the yard of a western Johnston County home.
The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office arrested William Vaughan Olive, 35, of the 11000 block of NC Highway 210 in Angier, on Dec. 9. He faces two felony charges and two misdemeanors in connection with the Nov. 5 burglary on Honeycutt Road.
Deputies were called to the home around 10:53 a.m. after the property owner discovered a break-in.
At the scene, investigators found an abandoned U-Haul truck mired on the property with stolen items inside. The property — including a bed headboard, antique scale, ammunition can, irrigation pump and air conditioner — was valued at about $650.
Detectives said evidence found inside the rental truck, along with information obtained from U-Haul, helped identify Olive as the suspect. A pry bar and wire cutters recovered at the scene were seized as evidence.
Olive was taken into custody without incident.

Sounds like he was stealing his own stuff or maybe in my mind that’s not what someone steals to sell for money
No, he was not stealing his own stuff. He is a seasoned veteran of being arrested for larceny. Not his first rodeo with the law. I know his grandparents and they are good people.
What a dumba**
We have evidence that proves he didn’t commit this crime, he wasn’t even the one who left the Uhaul where it was. 🙄 hoping he will be home soon.
Keep dreaming.
This is a repeat offender
Keep letting him out lol
Again, we have proof he did not commit this crime. – team olive🤘🏼❤️
There’s evidence he did as well as this was my ex stepdad. Abusive as anything else. I hope he rots in prison. You supporting him makes you just as bad as him. Get a grip…
