SPOKANE, Wash. – No-Li Brewhouse’s ‘Big Juicy’ truck was found vandalized in the Spokane Valley Mall parking lot on Sunday.
Carley Burns was driving down Trent Avenue when she saw the stolen truck vandalized with red spray paint and defaced No-Li stickers.
“They were kinda driving really crazy, like in and out of traffic. I think they noticed that we were following them,” said Burns.
Burns and her friend chased the suspect into the Spokane Valley Mall parking lot. According to the owner of No-Li, John Bryant, Spokane Valley Police and Spokane Police worked together to locate and recover the vandalized truck.
Bryant says he will work to fix ‘Big Juicy,’ despite the damage to the paint, back window and driver’s side door.
“It’s too important to my family. It’s had too many bales of hay from the field, and its had too many bags of malt-making beer. It’s the roots of the brewery,” Bryant said. “We’re a working-class group of people, tradespeople in Spokane that believe we can do great stuff.”
Bryant confirmed he will follow through on the $1000 reward he promised to whoever helped return the truck.
When asked what Burns would do with the money, she said she plans to buy her daughter a present for her first birthday.
“My daughter’s birthday is coming up on Saturday. I can definitely use it for her, to give a good birthday to, and Christmas now,” said Burns.
NonStop Local KHQ reached out to the Spokane Valley Police Department and the Spokane Police Department for more information on the suspect; there is no update at this time.
