It was worth $330.

Officials say Treadway admitted to believing the machinery was stolen.

Treadway was arraigned and released on a $1,000 bond.

___________________________________________________________
Sometime between November 24th and 26th, 12 chainsaws were stolen from Dowler Tractor Sales and Service in south Parkersburg.

Investigators say they've found 2 of the stolen chainsaws since the break-in, with one pending arrest.

They believe the other 10 chainsaws were sold by suspects throughout the area.

It looks like people bought the chainsaws without knowing they were stolen.

The Parkersburg Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact Detective D.A. Moody or call 304-424-8444.
