Garland City — City officials in Garland City have been contacted by a man looking to repossess a missing fire truck and three police cars.
City Recorder-Treasurer Ann Wright told the City Council Monday that a man from Little Rock came to claim a 1978 fire truck — but it couldn’t be found. The man provided a document saying the city has made no payments on the truck.
Councilors said they don’t remember when the purchase was approved.
And City Attorney Carolyn Whitefield says an attorney from Cook County, Ill., contacted her about three police cars. She says he claims the city defaulted on payments for the cars.
The Arkansas State Police says the patrol cars were found in September at an auto dealership in Natchitoches, La., where a former Garland City police chief purportedly tried unsuccessfully to trade them for another vehicle.
