A Shreveport man has been arrested on a warrant for felony theft for allegedly stealing multiple loads of scrap metal reportedly worth more than a million dollars from his Webster Parish employer.

Webster Parish detectives Capt. Tommy Kemp Jr. and Chase Walsworth closed the case with the Tuesday arrest of Shayvon Haney, 31, a resident of the 1900 block of Downing St. in Shreveport.

Haney is accused of hauling 21 loads of scrap without authorization over an unspecified period of time from the oilfield services company where he was employed.

Investigators say Haney received just under $28,000 for the stolen scrap. According to reports, replacement value of the oilfield iron is in well in excess of one million dollars.

Haney is currently being held at Bayou Dorcheat Correctional Center on a $100,000 bond.
