About an hour later, deputies located the suspected vehicle at a convenience store at 32 Road and Mesa Avenue, Grand Junction. The two vehicle occupants were identified as Teresa Russell-Wilder, 44, and James Sharp, 40, both of Grand Junction.
Deputies located personal items with an approximate value of $1,500.00 to $2,000.00, inside the car connected to the suspects. Applewood Mini-Storage connected the unit owner with deputies who identified her belongings, which were returned to her after processing.
Multiple knives and a hatchet blade were located inside the suspect's vehicle, and James had a knife in his front pocket deputies located during a routine pat down. James is a convicted felon and can not legally be in possession of such items.
