When approached by police, Gillerlain told them he knew why they were there, and he was stupid and took the registration from Stevens’ car, according to police reports. He said he had not seen Stevens’ car move in a long time and thought nobody would notice. Gillerlain said he had not been able to get his car registered because his license had been suspended for years and he has been driving around hoping not to get caught.

Police also found another registration plate on Gillerlain’s front passenger seat. He said it belonged to a friend who let him borrow it. When police made contact with the friend, he said he had not been aware that Gillerlain had his registration plate but did not wish to press charges.
