However, underneath the vinyl wrap of the Jeep Jackson was driving, the vehicle was white. Then, officers searched the secondary VIN and discovered it belonged to a white 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Taylor Newbern, the owner, reported the white 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee stolen on May 2nd, 2023. Jackson told officers he had the Jeep for about a year and refused to provide any additional statement.
