The owner of an Arctic White 2019 Corvette Stingray had multiple law enforcement officers searching for his stolen sports car in North Texas this week.

But even though the police were able to track the car's movements using signals from an electronic tracking device, they still couldn't spot the sleek vehicle anywhere… At first.

It all unfolded Wednesday in Wichita County, where Sheriff David Duke and a group of lawmen waited…and waited…and waited for the car to arrive.

“We heard it as they were driving through Bellevue, so we jumped out and headed toward U.S. 287. I was on the other side of the Wilson Viaduct and was going to set up my spikes. Meanwhile, we had three other units installing spikes,” Duke told the Wichita Falls Times Record News.

The sheriff deployed his spikes and began waiting for the Corvette to pass, accompanied by a group of fellow officers including 10 sheriff's units, nine Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and several Wichita Falls police units.” ready to pounce on this thing,” Duke said.

But there was nothing to fall on.

“I have twins and there’s not a single Corvette that goes by. So we asked the dispatcher where it was and they told us it was around the Quik Stop off Iowa Park Road in Wichita Falls,” the sheriff said.

“What the hell is this?” They did not exceed about 19 deputies and soldiers. So we tell ourselves that something is wrong. So I gathered my sticks and put them back in the car thinking, “Dad, burn it!” »

Deputies decided to go to the Quik Stop, where they spotted a double pickup truck pulling an enclosed trailer in the rear of the parking lot.

“So the deputy says, 'Hey, buddy, are you carrying anything?' and the guy says he's not carrying anything. So the deputy comes down and sees a small side door open. He looks in there – there’s this white Corvette,” Duke said.

“So we stop the guy and he's got all kinds of 'Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm taking him to Amarillo' and that kind of crap,” Duke said. “The sticker on the pickup is from Washington State. The label on the trailer is from Georgia. This guy isn't from around here.

Deputies then arrested Jerreh Korrah of Covington, Washington, and the real owner of the Corvette was informed that his car had been found.

Korrah, meanwhile, is incarcerated in the Wichita County Jail and faces a charge of theft over $30,000 and less than $150,000, a felony punishable by up to two years in prison.
