A Lexington man charged for stealing a Bobcat Skid steer is due in court.

A probable-cause statement alleges Shane Marcus Wilson stole a Bobcat skid steer after an accident on a pond in Lexington. Wilson and a woman were fishing in a boat on a pond near Coyote Lane when the boat overturned. Wilson said he woke up on the bank of the pond and then found a Bobcat skid steer from a nearby outbuilding and drove it without seeking permission. The stolen Bobcat was later located along the wood line just south of Coyote Lane.

Court documents say Wilson is charged with felonies for tampering with a motor vehicle in the first degree and stealing. Wilson was arraigned and posted $25,000 surety bond on May 5.

Wilson’s next hearing is scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, September 14, at Lafayette County Circuit Court.
