Connie Tonya Smith, also known as Jane Doe, and Tony Smith, also known as John Doe or Kenneth Manley, were arrested on Nov. 10 by Sallisaw police after the department was notified by the Memphis Police Department that two stolen vehicles were believed to be at Sallisaw KOA Campground, court records state.
Included with the notification was a brief description and photograph of a travel trailer and a red Ford F550 truck.
Sallisaw Police Officer Rick Nicholson and Cpl. Ronnie Davis went to the campground, found the reported stolen vehicles, and took both suspects into custody.
The female suspect identified herself as Connie Smith, 59. Officers discovered she had an active warrant for her arrest in Tennessee.
The male suspect identified himself as Tony Smith, 64. During a search of the two vehicles, police found multiple identifications and drivers' licenses for the couple, along with several altered legal documents, notary seals, and a court seal.
The Sallisaw Police Department, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are currently attempting to establish the correct identity of both subjects, court records state.
A hearing will be held Monday in district court to determine if the couple should continue to be held without bond.
Assistant District Attorney Steve Ramm filed a motion asking that the couple continue to be held without bond because they are a flight risk since their actual identity is unknown. Ramm also noted the couple was just traveling through the area.
