The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department is assisting in the investigation into a truck that was discovered in the ditch along Kidd Lake Road just south of Stringtown Road near Fults early Saturday evening.

The truck, a gray Dodge Ram 3500 with Kansas plates, was reported stolen out of Wilson County, Kansas, on Friday, police said.

The truck has minor front-end damage and was unoccupied at the time of its discovery. An Illinois State Police crime scene unit assisted sheriff’s deputies in processing the truck for evidence.

Anyone who may have seen anyone driving this truck over the weekend is asked to contact the sheriff’s department at 939-8651.
