Man Arrested in Morro Bay for Writing Bad Check to Purchase Truck

By JOSH FRIEDMAN

A 65-year-old man was apprehended in Morro Bay on Sunday after allegedly fleeing in a truck stolen from a Ford dealership in San Luis Obispo.

Just before 11 a.m., the Morro Bay police received a stolen vehicles notification through the city’s automated license plate reader system. This alert informed officers about the presence of a reported stolen vehicle within city limits, as stated by the Morro Bay Police Department.

Authorities located the vehicle, a 2024 Ford F-250, parked in the 700 block of Harbor Street. A 2025 Harley Davidson motorcycle was discovered in the truck’s bed.

Investigators found that the driver, Thomas Oliver Hight, had purchased the truck from Perry Ford in San Luis Obispo but did not have sufficient funds in his account to complete the payment. The dealership attempted to reclaim the vehicle, prompting it to report the F-250 as stolen.

Hight returned to Perry Ford intending to buy another vehicle. However, dealership personnel instructed him to either pay for the F-250 or return it. Hight declined and subsequently fled with the truck, damaging some landscaping as a Perry Ford staff member tried to prevent his departure.

Following his capture, Hight was booked in the San Luis Obispo County Jail on charges of vehicle theft. He remains in custody with a bail amounting to $70,000, as per the details on the SLO County Sheriff’s Office website.

The Morro Bay police have informed the San Luis Obispo and Fresno police departments about Hight’s arrest and related cases involving the Ford dealership and a Harley dealership.

The investigation into this matter is ongoing. Authorities urge anyone who witnessed the incident or possesses any relevant information to reach out to Sergeant Nicole Taylor at (805) 772-6233 or to contact San Luis Obispo County Crime Stoppers at (805) 549-STOP.

Chad Ollinger, a star of the Discovery Channel, was apprehended in Texas on Monday night. Ollinger, known for his role on Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, faces two charges of evading arrest after allegedly leading law enforcement on a motorcycle chase that ended with a foot pursuit.

When officers attempted to stop the reality TV personality, Ollinger refused to comply, prompting a chase. Although he eventually pulled over, he abandoned his motorcycle and fled on foot, leading to a pursuit that concluded with his arrest.

Ollinger was charged with two counts: evading arrest/detention with a vehicle and evading arrest/detention on foot. He was taken to the county jail but was released the next day after posting bail. In response to the incident, Ollinger stated to TMZ, “All I know is this one thing. It was a hell of a ride until I got off of that Harley crossbone.”

Currently, Ollinger has not commented further on the matter nor has he updated his social media accounts since his arrest.

For viewers of the Discovery Channel, Ollinger is a well-known figure, as he stars in Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch. The show debuted in 2021 and follows Ollinger and his father, Duane Ollinger, as they explore their 160-acre property in the Uinta Basin of Utah, searching for what lies hidden in the seven caves on the land. The duo is on the quest for a rumored 500-year-old lost treasure and faces paranormal encounters along the way.

“One of the challenges has definitely been the paranormal aspect. We’re located right next to Skinwalker Ranch, so we’ve begun to notice intriguing clues from that,” Ollinger shared with TV Insider. “The sights, sounds, and smells we experience are incredible. I was skeptical of this stuff until I arrived here. There’s certainly something happening.”

Despite his father describing him as having “not an ounce of quit in him,” the married father of four acknowledged that his treasure hunting pursuits have “strained various relationships. We spend a lot of time up there and travel extensively for research. It’s been challenging for relationships, but here we are.”

New episodes of Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch air on Wednesdays on the Discovery Channel.
