Springfield Police VS Hitchhiking Semi Thief

Description: The Springfield Police Department Released the Following Incident Report Regarding an Attempted Aggravated Motor Vehicle Theft and Subsequent Arrest that Occured on October 4, 2023...

AGGRAVATED MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT ARREST

On 10/4/23 around 230 am, Springfield Police Responded to a motor vehicle theft just occurred. 

It was discovered that a male party attempted to take a Semi Tractor Trailer that was idling on the 1200 block of Main Street. The male party attempted to drive away, however, he must have forgot that he doesn’t know how to drive a semi, because he was unable to release the brakes and killed the truck before being able to drive away. 

The local truck driver, who was not taking any of the nonsense from this guy, ripped the male out of the semi and the male took off running. 

SPD searched the area and around 320 AM, were able to locate the male who did his best to hide, by standing “super still," in a business corridor on the 900 block of Main. 

The male party was arrested and booked into the Baca County Jail for 2nd Degree Aggravated Motor Vehicle Theft. 

Thank you to the local truck driver who did an amazing job of giving SPD a great description of the male and was very observant! Without his great description, it would have been very difficult to accurately locate the male. 

The suspect in this case was not a local, and had hitch-hiked to Springfield.
