MILFORD, Ind. (WOWO): A former Bison Coach employee was arrested for allegedly stealing from the trailer manufacturing company in December.

Around 10 p.m. Monday the Warsaw Police Department arrested 23-year-old Travis Lafollette, of Silver Lake, who was fired from Bison Coach.

Milford police responded to a burglary call at Bison Coach on Dec. 17

The plant manager told police someone entered 15 trailers and stole five flat screen televisions. A knife was used to cause severe damage to the exterior and interior of multiple trailers.

Together, the televisions were valued at $1,200 and the damage was estimated at $29,161, according to a probable cause affidavit.

The next day, Indiana State Police learned that Lafollette was selling televisions. Lafollette admitted he entered the campers, but someone else had vandalized them to “get even” with the plant manager for getting fired.

Lafollette was arrested on charges of burglary and theft, both are felonies. He is being held in Kosciusko County Jail on a $10,000 bond.
