Trucker Absconds with $50K in CVC Fliers

4/27/07 -- Stillwater, OK - Seems a trucker recently made of with a trailer full of fliers and hasn't been seen since.

It all started oddly enough on Friday the 13th of this month. That's when Isaac Nyachwaya Simiti, 31, of Panther Expedite trucking and Preprint Logistics pulled into Quebecor World to pickup a load of fliers to be delivered to Texas.

According to court papers, everything was going fine, and after the 375,000 fliers were loaded into Simiti's truck he checkout and drove off with them.

Reportedly, Simiti returned soon thereafter claiming his truck was "over weight."

When a "resolution was not reached," a decision was made to offload the fliers.

Obviously that was not acceptable to Simit and he drove away with the cargo, valued at $50,000.

Investigators inquired to Simit's employer and they informed police Simit was considered absent without leave and that they wished the load to be considered stolen.

Simit's employer explained to police that the missing load of fliers was their responsibility and could cost their company the multi-million dollar contract with CVC Pharmacy.

Simit is described as residing in Arlington, Texas.

Felony embezzlement charges have been filed against Simit.
