The Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office announced the recovery of a stolen horse trailer, valued at $45,000, along with the arrest of a suspect in connection to the crime.

Detectives with the Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office received information regarding a stolen goose-neck horse trailer, originally reported stolen from Pratt, Kansas. The trailer, which was also carrying valuable equipment, belonged to a student attending Pratt Community College. The total value of the trailer and its contents was approximately $45,000.

Upon receiving the tip, Winn Parish detectives launched an investigation and were able to locate the stolen horse trailer at a residence on LA 1232. The homeowner granted detectives permission to inspect the trailer, and it was quickly determined that the trailer had indeed been stolen from Kansas.

During their investigation, detectives discovered additional property at the same location. This included a 2014 green Honda Rancher 4-wheeler, which had its serial numbers intentionally removed. Following the discovery of these items, detectives obtained a search warrant for the property and began verifying the serial numbers of all other equipment on the premises.

The horse trailer and the 4-wheeler were confiscated, and Damichael Le Sean Perry was arrested and booked into the Winn Parish Detention Center. He is facing charges of Illegal Possession of Stolen Property in connection with the horse trailer, as well as Alteration/Removal of Identification Numbers on the 4-wheeler.

The owner of the stolen horse trailer has been notified of the recovery and is working with authorities to proceed with the return of their property.
