REELSVILLE -- An investigation into reported stolen merchandise from a Clay County business led to a search warrant being served by members of the Clay County and Putnam County sheriff's departments at a Reelsville residence early Tuesday morning.

Although still in the early stages of the investigation, officials at the Putnam County Sheriff's Department confirmed as a result of the search warrant served at his residence, John Deal, Reelsville, was taken into custody shortly before 3 a.m., Tuesday.

Deal was taken to the jail and booked on preliminary charges of receiving stolen property, dealing in methamphetamine, possession of a firearm by a felon and maintaining a common nuisance.

Officials at the Clay County Sheriff's Department confirmed undisclosed merchandise previously reported stolen from an unidentified local business was discovered at the Reelsville residence.
