Bryan Cason, 37, told Deputy Brandon Kiser the potential buyer left the premises on South 6th in Macclenny after going to the parking lot to inspect it. The owner also said the man and a female he believes was his wife named Shirley drove off in another SUV when he discovered the first vehicle was gone. Mr. Cason described him as a white male about 50 years old miss- ing the index finger of his left hand. He added the man told him he was leaving because he was “nervous because of the extra money he is car- rying.” Deputy Kiser attempted to reach the second man using a phone number Mr. Cason had previously used. He also learned the missing 2003 Ford Excursion displayed a tag belonging to another vehicle Mr. Cason said he already sold. In a case of vehicle vandalism, police suspect the ex-boyfriend of a Macclenny woman is responsible for damage done to her 1997 Nissan overnight on July 28. Anndrea Stuhr said she went to the vehicle parked on South Glen Ave. in Glen St. Mary about 8:30 that morning to find three tires flat- tened, sugar in the gas tank and spray painting on the body. Deputy Tony Norman said initial attempts to reach the ex-boy- friend, who lives in Macclenny, were unsuccessful. Police had earlier responded to Ms. Stuhr’s residence in Macclenny on a disturbance call involving the estranged boyfriend, who reportedly was upset before the second incident after learning she was in a new relationship.
