Documents filed on Tuesday show Wesley Kidder said he, his friend Curtis Spencer and his girlfriend Bethany Hightower had been smoking meth earlier that day. Kidder told police they had been driving around the Choctaw area looking to "get a trailer to sell." He said they were looking to steal stuff to "make some money."

Kidder admitted to breaking into a house, located in the 11000 block of N. Dobbs in Luther. He said Spencer kicked in the door of the garage, and that he and Spencer stole several items in the garage, including a trailer.

Witnesses reported to authorities about the crime. Deputies located the suspect vehicle at Britton and Indian Meridian Road in Jones, that's when the pursuit began.

Hightower and Spencer were charged with second degree burglary and larceny of a trailer. Spencer had an outstanding warrant for violation of a deferred sentence.
