PRESS RELEASE
Construction Site Theft
Elberta, Alabama

On March 23, 2026, Officers with the Elberta Police Department responded to a theft call at a Construction Site near Kichler Circle. The offender(s) drove onto the site over the weekend between March 20, 2026, and March 23, 2026, and stole supplies and tools belonging to a construction company. The total value is believed to be more than $50,000.

Camera footage from the area (thanks to the citizens) then led the investigator to a suspect vehicle. The vehicle was contacted by officers from another agency on March 24, 2026, in an unrelated situation. Matthew Michael Shellem and Detrell Quantez Waller were arrested at that time for charges unrelated to Elberta’s theft, and the vehicle was inventoried and impounded. A subsequent search warrant on the impounded vehicle led to the recovery of all the stolen property from Elberta’s Construction Site Theft.

Charges were filed for Theft of Property 1st on both Shellem and Waller.
