Osawatomie police officers arrested two Olathe residents recently at Casey’s General Store after two stolen automobiles were recovered. The vehicle matched the description of a vehicle used in a previous case in which a man driving the vehicle used a counterfeit $100 bill to purchase items from the store. Officers and detectives responded to the store, and made contact with a female driver inside the store. During the course of the investigation, it was determined that a second vehicle at Casey’s, occupied by a man, was involved in the original passing of the counterfeit bill.
Twenty eight year-old Saif Ahmad Salim was booked into the Miami County Jail on two charges of possession of stolen automobile. Twenty seven year-old Michelle Brown of Olathe, was booked on charges of possession of a stolen auto, possession of a controlled substance and paraphernalia.
The case is ongoing as it pertains to potential federal charges related to firearms violations.
