A report came in about a stolen vehicle at Northern Kustomz in Erskine. Court records say the business also includes a living area occupied by B.H.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says K.H.\u2019s vehicle, a <strong>2014 Subaru Legacy<\/strong>, was taken from the property. The vehicle is registered to E.J. The complaint also says a pickup truck was left behind outside the business.<\/p>\n<p>Inside that truck, investigators reported finding property connected to B.H. The complaint says items included a picture frame with K.H.\u2019s name, a coffee shop point-of-sale system, and debit cards.<\/p>\n<p>Court records also allege food inside the shop had been eaten. Keys were moved from a box and placed in other areas. A dirt bike was also reported taken from inside the building.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint says Smith had prior contact with K.H. years earlier. It also says he sent Instagram messages and a photo of Doc Marten shoes that were later found outside the residence door.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_22308\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22308\" style=\"width: 224px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-22308\" src=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Shawn-Patric-Smith.png\" alt=\"Shawn Patric Smith\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-22308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shawn Patric Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Threat Allegation And Vehicle Claim<\/h2>\n<p>The complaint further alleges Smith threatened K.H. during a phone call.
