Ravenel, South Carolina – The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is asking for the public’s help in solving the case of two stolen trailers and a suspect vehicle taken from ChuckTown Trailers on July 31. The theft occurred on the 4500 block of Savannah Highway. Authorities are seeking information about the suspects and the stolen property.
The two suspects reportedly drove a black 1997-2004 Ford F-150 Flairside pickup truck with black rims, described as “beat up” with multiple dents. The stolen trailers are a 2025 C-TRAILERS 6X12 and a 2025 J&C SUPPLIERS 7X14, both of which are black, enclosed, dual-axle units featuring chrome diamond plate trim and dark grey wheels. At the time of the theft, the suspects provided fraudulent online purchase information.
Anyone with information regarding the stolen trailers or the suspect vehicle is urged to reach out to CCSO Detective Michael Thompson at either 843-554-2471 (desk), 843-830-3332 (cell), or via email at [email protected].
In a separate but related case, 41-year-old Corbett Kenneth Wayne Mizzell from Summerville has been arrested after leading deputies on a chase involving a stolen trailer. The pursuit began when a deputy noticed a trailer matching the description of a stolen unit on Dorchester Road. The chase ended when the trailer detached from the truck, ripping off its cab near Bacons Bridge Road.
Witnesses reported that a semi-truck caught fire during the incident. Mizzell attempted to flee into nearby woods after abandoning the burning truck but was apprehended shortly thereafter. He has been charged with receiving stolen goods, failure to stop for blue lights, and resisting arrest. The trailer he was towing was confirmed as stolen from Charleston County at the time of his arrest, leading to his booking into the L.C. Knight Detention Center.
Additionally, the CCSO is investigating another trailer theft that occurred on November 18 near Berry Patch Circle in Summerville. In this case, the suspect drove a full-size pickup truck, though details remain unclear due to poor surveillance footage. The trailer involved is identified as a 2023 Patriot Cargo 6×12 enclosed single-axle trailer, featuring a two-tone paint scheme of black and silver with diamond plate aluminum trim, as well as side and rear drop-down doors.
The CCSO continues to encourage the community to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities that may lead to further developments in these theft cases.
