A week ago, four young men were spotted walking on I-90 near Bangor, after their car ran out of gas. Actually, it wasn't THEIR car. It was stolen, and they had taken a ride in it to the Stevens Point area and back. Now, the four...ages 17 to 24, are officially charged with car theft.
The driver claimed he had gotten the car from his mother, but the vehicle's ignition showed signs of being broken into.
An arrest warrant was out for that driver, because he was out of jail on bond and ordered not to drive at all. High Bond For MathewsThursday, 20 October 2011 13:55 | Last Updated on Thursday, 20 October 2011 13:56 | | |
