Oklahoma man accused of stealing emergency truck to make it to court hearing on car theft charges

Talk about making matters worse. An Oklahoma man is behind bars for allegedly stealing an emergency truck after he couldn’t get a ride to court for a hearing where he was already facing criminal charges for car theft. Kody Adams was at a gas station in Stillwater asking people for a ride to Pawnee County for his court appearance – where is charged with possession of a stolen vehicle – when he hopped into an unoccupied LifeNet ambulance truck that had been left running, according to Oklahoma Highway Patrol. “Here’s one you don’t see everyday,” the agency quipped in a Sept.27 Facebook post.

The dimwitted carjacker took the ambulatory truck on a 30-minute joy ride to the courthouse and then ditched the vehicle before he was apprehended walking into the courthouse.“First responders had an idea of where that vehicle might be located,” Trooper Preston Cox told KOCO News.Adams was arrested after he admitted to simply “borrowing” the truck, authorities said.He was taken to his original court date and then booked on new larceny charges.Adams is being held at Payne County Jail.
