Man takes car on 1,000-mile test drive
Oct 19 2009
JANESVILLE, Wis.— A Massachusetts man kidnapped a car salesman during a test drive and drove the vehicle more than 1,000 miles to Wisconsin. Authorities said a Wisconsin State Patrol trooper pulled over a 32-year-old man near Edgerton, Wis. on Friday for speeding, reckless driving and operating a motor vehicle without owner consent. The car salesman managed to jump out of the vehicle when it slowed for a toll booth near the Massachussetts state line.
The incident began Thursday afternoon when the man and a Honda car salesman went on a test drive but the man refused to return to the dealership. He made no attempt to prevent the salesman from getting out of the vehicle at the toll station.
The suspect is expected to be extradited to Massachusetts to face charges of kidnapping, larceny of a motor vehicle and unarmed robbery. The man declined to make a statement until he consults his lawyer(who he claimed to be famed Wyoming attorney Gerry Spence), other than to say he wanted some good Wisconsin cheese and wanted to go see the Packers play on Sunday at Lambeau Field, in Green Bay.
Unfortunately for the man, Green Bay was playing in Detroit that Sunday.
