Authorities say Florida Rock and Tank Lines had noticed some discrepancies, and hired a private investigator. The case was then turned over to the Sheriff’s Office, where investigators later observed Lawson pump two 55 gallon drums full of diesel fuel. Investigators then followed Lawson to self-storage unit, where it was determined he was reselling the fuel at a lower cost.
Lawson was charged with first degree felony grand theft and has a $50,000.00 bond.
