A man from Stone County is facing several charges after allegedly stealing a vehicle in July.
According to the probable cause affidavit filed by the Stone County Sheriff's Office, Lyle Russell of Lampe is facing charges of Resisting Arrest and Tampering with a motor vehicle. On July 24, the Stone County Sheriff's Office was contacted by Branson Police about a vehicle stolen from Branson that had a registration address in Stone County.
