Kody Adams, already facing charges, allegedly told Oklahoma police he had merely been ‘borrowing’ vehicle
An Oklahoma man who could not find a ride to a criminal court hearing on accusations that he had stolen a car worsened his legal peril by stealing an ambulance service’s truck and driving himself to the courthouse, authorities allege.
The bizarre case centers on Kody Adams, who was recently at a gasoline station in the community of Stillwater asking passersby whether they would drive him to Pawnee – about 30 minutes away – so that he could attend a court hearing there, as the Oklahoma highway patrol tells it.
Adams was due in court on charges of possessing a stolen vehicle, the state highway patrol said in a Facebook post dated 27 September. And when no one could bring him, he commandeered an ambulance service supervisor’s pickup that had been left running as well as unattended, and Adams drove it to Pawnee, the highway patrol’s Preston Cox told the Oklahoma news outlet KOCO.
Sure and that works great right up until you’re supposed to leave for the 30 minute drive and your ride never shows up, and you don’t have the money for an Uber.
