[QUOTE="HFS, post: 3310799, member: 8862"] Question -- Can OnStar actually do this with GM vehicles (slow them down to 15 mph)? [URL]https://www.foxnews.com/us/oklahoma-man-stole-truck-with-goat-inside[/URL] [B]Oklahoma man allegedly stole truck, drove 130 miles with passenger and pet goat inside[/B] According to Fox News, an Oklahoma man is charged with stealing a pickup truck (photo shows it's a [B][U]Chevrolet[/U][/B]) 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." [/QUOTE]
