GREENVILLE Man charged in theft of relief supply truck Federal prosecutors have filed charges against a Greenville man accused of stealing a rental truck that contained supplies headed to hurricane victims in Louisiana. Ricky Benson, 49, was arrested Sept. 8, police said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chad Lamar, in Oxford, said federal officials will prosecute the case. Lamar said Benson has been charged with the unlawful theft of goods from an interstate shipment "because this truck involved a shipment of aid/relief to victims of the hurricane." Two women from suburbs of Chicago were driving the truck to Louisiana. Police said the vehicle was stolen from a Best Western motel in Greenville. The women were not identified. The truck contained generators, food, water, clothing and cash collected in the Chicago area meant for storm victims, said Lt. Dondi Gibbs, head of the criminal investigations division for the Greenville Police Department. Lamar said Benson waived his right to a preliminary hearing during a recent appearance before U.S. Magistrate Eugene Bogen in Greenville. Lamar said Benson was denied bond and bound over to the federal grand jury. Benson was in the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service. Gibbs said the truck was released to the women last week and they continued on to Louisiana.
