The Tulsa Police Department has released new details regarding the successful recovery of a stolen tour trailer belonging to former Saliva frontman Josey Scott. The suspect, identified as 47-year-old Jason Wofford, was apprehended by authorities last week, and was ironically wearing a piece of the band’s stolen merchandise at the time of his arrest.
Jason Wofford is currently facing serious charges, including grand larceny AFCF (after former conviction of a felony) and knowingly concealing stolen property AFCF.
On May 4, the Tulsa Police Department issued a highly detailed, and slightly entertaining, official press release outlining exactly how they tracked down the $50,000 worth of stolen instruments, amplifiers, and merchandise.
The full statement from the police department reads as follows:

The deluxe edition:
On April 28, 2026, around 8 a.m., Tulsa Police Officers responded to a call about a trailer stolen from the driveway of a home near 23rd and Yale.
The victim told Officers he left the home for a few minutes and came back to find the trailer gone. He had about $50,000 worth of band equipment belonging to Josey Scott – Original Voice of Saliva.
Officers canvassed the neighborhood, and our Real Time Information Center helped gather information about the suspect’s vehicle.
On May 1, Officers tracked the truck down to a home near 48th and S. 34th West Ave. The suspect, 47-year-old Jason Wofford was outside, wearing a “Josey Scott, the Original Voice of Saliva” t-shirt.
Officers served a search warrant on the home, finding guitars, drums, and equipment in a shed, and boxes of band t-shirts inside the house.
Wofford told Detectives he unloaded the stolen trailer at the home and drove it out to a property outside of the city. Officers found it out in rural Pawnee County and brought it back to the owner waiting at our Riverside Division.
Wofford was arrested and booked into the Tulsa County Jail for Grand Larceny AFCF (After Former Conviction of a Felony) and Knowingly Concealing Stolen Property AFCF.
This is an arrest, not a conviction.”
When the theft originally occurred, Josey Scott launched a crowdfunding campaign to help his band survive the massive financial hit and stay on the road. The rock community quickly rallied behind him, with fellow hard rock act Shinedown generously lending replacement gear so the tour could continue without interruption.
Now that the Tulsa police have successfully recovered the trailer and all the stolen belongings, Josey Scott has officially closed the emergency GoFundMe campaign and confirmed that all fan donations will be completely refunded.
