Three charged in boat theft case

A Bonner Springs woman and a Tonganoxie man were charged Wednesday with theft stemming from an alleged Tuesday evening theft of a camouflaged boat from the former location of the Gaslight Village mobile home park.

Tabitha D. Jayne, 43, and Christopher C. Jackson, 23, were arrested about 6 p.m. after police received a call about a boat being taken from the park at 1900 W. 31st Street.

Jackson and Jayne were in a vehicle towing the boat, and had fled from the scene before police arrived. However, the vehicle was stopped by police in the 2900 block of Iowa Street.

Two other men were arrested related to the case, but theft charges were not filed on either. One of the men, 48-year-old James M. Reisinger, was charged with interfering with police.

Jayne and Jackson are being held on $3,000 bonds, while Reisinger is being held on a $1,000 bond.

Theft is a level-9 severity crime, punishable by probation and up to 17 months in prison.
