The Fairview Township Police Department has charged 36-year old Justin Lee Bartlett following an extensive investigation involving a stolen vehicle, robbery, aggravated assault, and fraudulent credit card use.

On January 30, 2026, officers were contacted regarding a stolen 2023 Volvo XC90 connected to an overdose investigation at a local motel in New Cumberland the previous day. Investigators learned the victim had met a suspect known as “Blaze” through a dating application before being rendered unconscious inside a motel room. The victim later suffered serious medical complications requiring intensive care treatment.

Through surveillance footage, GPS vehicle tracking, financial records, and coordination with Tennessee authorities, officers identified “Blaze” as Justin Bartlett. Bartlett was located in Tennessee in possession of the stolen vehicle, the victim’s identification, stolen bank cards, and vehicle keys.

Bartlett has been charged with Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Theft of a Motor Vehicle, and Access Device Fraud.

The Fairview Township Police Department thanks the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office and assisting agencies for their cooperation during this investigation.
