BOLO Alert: Thief on the Run in Montana, $20,000 Reward Offered
He stole a pickup and one heck of an RV, and defrauded other Billings businesses too. Now, a $20,000 reward is being offered to track down this thief.
I spoke with our friend Dustin Bretz from Bretz RV and Marine on Monday afternoon. They heard the suspect may have been spotted in the Zortman-Landusky area, but also that he may be on the run to Iowa or Louisiana.
As you can see in the photos above, and in the video below, the stolen vehicle and RV should be fairly easy to spot.
Brandon Bretz shared this info Friday afternoon:
We had a Brinkley RV stolen from our Billings store by a guy named Jonathan Shane Roberts. He also stole the truck he towed it off with from our friends at Denny Menholt just up the road.
Help us find the trailer and more importantly this guy! We've teamed up with Denny Menholt to put up a total of $20,000 for information that leads to the return of the truck, trailer, and a conviction for each! Let's get this scum bag locked up! If you see him, DO NOT approach. Call 911 immediately, then call or text us at 406-296-3367.
In an updated post on Facebook Sunday, Dustin Bretz noted that the suspect may be travelling with a woman who has family connections in Louisiana. "These two have a criminal track record in west Texas all the way to what looks like home base in Benton, Louisiana and up to Montana," he added.
Bretz says that if the woman turns in the crime suspect, "the $20,000 potential reward could help her restart her life. With Information please contact me at: 406-296-3367"

From scandalous bikini calendars to your dad's AMC Gremlin, '80s garages were a treasure trove of adventure, good fun, and sometimes downright danger.
