WAVE 3 TV Louisville, KY | Man arrested after stealing paddy wagon
Member Center:
LEXINGTON, KY. (AP) - Lexington police have arrested a man accused of stealing a paddy wagon.
Police told WKYT-TV that the incident happened around 10 p.m. Friday night.
An officer left the keys in the vehicle when he went to pick up a prisoner. Police said the officer said he locked the vehicle, but apparently didn't realize there's a security feature that unlocks it if the keys are inside.
A suspect jumped in and took off. Police stopped the man a short time later and charged him with theft by unlawful taking and operating a vehicle with no license.
The man has not been identified.
