Straight outta the showroom. A drunk man somehow managed to get the keys to an SUV and attempted to steal it on a hot police chase before he was caught. Hit the jump for the full story.
Authorities have arrested a man from Ocala, Florida, who initially stole two big screen TV’s at a Honda dealership, before putting them in an SUV and attempting at a Grand Theft Auto style getaway.
Vantice Beshears, 46, was reportedly drunk while he drove through two double glass doors and than crashed into another vehicle. Beshears parked the car before ditching it near a subdivision, police than spotted him and arrested him on site. No injuries were reported.
The Ocala Star Banner, reports Beshears is facing 6 charges and commercial burglary, despite his already outstanding warrants from the counties of Marion and Lake. Beshears ultimately caused about $20,000 worth of damage between the cars damaged, TV’S stolen, and glass doors smashed to pieces.
He remained at the Marion county jail on Friday and it is unclear if he has yet retained an attorney. Let’s see if he can get out of this one as it is unlikely considering Beshears already has two pending court cases.
