PORT CHARLOTTE, FLa. — Charlotte County deputies say they were able to arrest a theft suspect thanks to a tipster.

The sheriff's office posted this video on their social media of a driver of a truck with a stolen trailer taken from Port Charlotte.

The trailer contained some tools for construction work worth $6,000.

Someone called the sheriff's office after seeing the video.

Thomas Pusey was arrested and charged, and deputies recovered the trailer.

He's also facing drug charges after deputies say they found meth in his home.
