Oklahoma man allegedly stole truck, drove 130 miles with passenger and pet goat inside
According to Fox News, an Oklahoma man is charged with stealing a pickup truck (photo shows it's a Chevrolet) in Missouri and running 137 miles before he was finally arrested in OK.
(A sleeping passenger and a pet goat inside the truck were reportedly threatened at gunpoint but they got out in Creek County, OK.)
According to the story:
"...Creek County police were able to work with the vehicle communications service OnStar, which slowed the truck's speed to just 15 mph...
[Suspect Brandon Kirby] managed to maintain the chase even after a deputy used stop sticks to flatten his tires.
The chase ended when an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper pushed the truck into a ditch.
The 40-year-old suspect tried running and hiding in tall grass near a ditch...
The Creek County Sheriff's Office said that Kirby was charged with kidnapping, pointing firearms, and being a felon in possession of firearms. He was recently released from prison and had multiple convictions in several counties."
