Four suspects were arrested, including three Hopkinsville residents, after over $200,000 worth of stolen property was recovered in Montgomery County, Tennessee.

Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from the Hopkinsville Police Department that property stolen from General Steel in Hopkinsville was located at a residence in the 2500 block of Rawlings Road in Woodlawn.

A news release says deputies searched the property and located two commercial work trucks, an enclosed trailer and an ATV. In addition to the stolen property, deputies discovered firearms, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia at the home.

Forty-one-year-old Derek Eugene Summers of the home was taken into custody and charged with felony theft, possession of a firearm by a felon, possessing a firearm during commission of a felony, drug possession for resale and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Police say Summers has an extensive criminal history and recently accepted another plea deal and received a one year probated sentence for two counts of accessory after the fact in connection to two homicides committed by Kirby Wallace, theft of property, and tampering with evidence.

Three Hopkinsville residents—38-year old Sidney Faulkner, 36-year old Michael Hill and 20-year old Brianna Klein—were also arrested. All three were charged with felony theft and Faulkner and Hill were also charged with evading police.
