A Delhi man is facing charges after driving a vehicle he did not have permission to operate at the time.

According to the Delaware County Sheriff's Office, on the evening of December 11th, deputies responded to a report of a stolen vehicle from a Town of Delhi residence. An investigation determined that the vehicle was not stolen, however the male operator had used the vehicle without the owner's permission while having permission to use the vehicle in past days.

The operator was identified as 38-year-old Jared Barnes of Delhi.

The vehicle's owner was able to use tracking in the vehicle to inform deputies that the vehicle was traveling east on Interstate 88 in the town of Afton. A traffic stop was successfully conducted and Barnes was transported to the Village of Sidney Police Department, where he was arrested by deputies and charged with Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.

Barnes was released and ordered to appear in court at a later date to answer the charge.
