There haven’t been any more arrests overnight from the sting targeting an alleged car theft ring in Polk County, according to records available at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

However, some of those arrested earlier are now bonding out of jail.

Marvin Cheatwood, for theft by receiving stolen property involving a motor vehicle has been released on a property bond, according to jail officials.

Richard Gerald Haney, 63, was released on a second property bond. He was picked up a second time Wednesday on a separate charge for operating a chop shop. He is also charged with theft by receiving stolen property.

Haney’s son, Richard Todd Haney, 40, was also released on a property bond. He is charged with possession of a vehicle with an altered identification number.

Officials said at least four others were arrested Wednesday who were not a part of the probe and didn’t have direct involvement in the suspected theft ring. Those arrests came during a police roadblock at one of the businesses, officials said.

Those arrests include:

Olen Jerry Sisson, 67, of 4301 Collard Valley Road, Cedartown, arrested on charges of theft by receiving stolen property. He was released on his own recognizance per Judge Whiteside.

Michael Justin Price, 30, of 152 Yale Road, Rome, was arrested on charges of possession of schedule III and schedule IV drugs and drugs not in their original container. He was released on a property bond.

Anthony Wayne Streetman, 45, of 65 Fowler Road, Rockmart, was arrested on charges of possession of a schedule III drug and drugs not in original container. He was released on a property bond.

John Wesly Frazier, 50, of 317 Woodward St., Rome, was arrested on charges of possession of a schedule III drug. He was released on a property bond.

Additionally, Michael Robinson, a former deputy with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, was not processed through Polk County but was processed and is being held through another county.

Robinson was charged by agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms with federal weapons violations.

The same is true for Kenneth Gravett, a former deputy with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, who now faces a charge of insurance fraud. Gravett, who was arrested previously on a similar charge, was arrested by an outside agency and processed through another county.

A familiar father and son were among those picked up on new warrants stemming from an multi-level probe into a car theft ring operating in Polk and Floyd Counties.

Richard Gerald Haney, 63, of 123 Frances Drive, Cedartown, was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a charge of theft by receiving stolen property.

He was released on a property bond early Wednesday afternoon, only to be re-booked at the Polk County Jail by 4 p.m.

The new charge is operating a chop shop, according to Polk County Jail docket reports.

Haney's son, Richard Todd Haney, 40, of 25 Mountain View Drive, Cedartown, was arrested Wednesday afternoon and has not been completely through the booking process, according to jail officials. He faces charges of possession of a vehicle with an altered identification number.

Joey David Hughes, 35, of 36 Kimwood Drive, Cedartown, was arrested Tuesday in the case. He is charged with operating a chop shop and theft by receiving stolen property.

He has since been released on a property bond.

Meanwhile, three of those arrested Tuesday are being housed in jail outside the county. Mark Sparks, who was a Polk County police officer, is being housed elsewhere. He faces charges of violation of oath of office, obstruction, theft by receiving (motor vehicle).

John Summerville Sr., arrested on two counts of sale and distribution of a schedule 2 drug, operating a chop shop, theft by receiving (motor vehicle) and forgery in the second degree, is being housed in Floyd County, according to jail officials.

Bradley Miller, who faces two counts of theft by receiving stolen property (motor vehicle) and altering a vehicle identification number, is also being housed outside the county. Jail officials didn't have the locations of where Sparks and Miller were being held.

Meanwhile, Margie Fields, arrested Tuesday on charges of alterning a vehicle identification number and operating a chop shop, was released this afternoon.

For over a year, the NGCETF, which is led by the FBI, has been investigating a criminal enterprise based in Polk County involved in the trafficking of stolen vehicles and altering vehicle identification numbers in order to resell stolen vehicles for large profits.

The criminal enterprise has also been aided by current and former law enforcement officials who have been arrested as well. These former law enforcement officers have participated in the criminal activities and reportedly have provided sensitive law enforcement information to individuals involved in the criminal enterprise.

The investigation culminated on Oct. 6, with the execution of numerous search warrants and arrest warrants issued by the Polk County Superior Court and through the United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia.

The investigation is ongoing with additional arrests and charges possible. Note: Additional photos will be posted as they become available.
