Car Napping
Alleged Thief Caught Napping In Car
WEST VALLEY CITY When Jason Rockhill went to his car one morning last week, he was surprised to find someone taking a nap inside.
The intruder apparently had been helping himself to items in Rockhill’s car and others in the neighborhood and wasn’t anxious to be awakened.
“He kept saying, ‘No, no, no, no,’” Rockhill said. “I said, ‘Dude, you’re in my car.’”
Rockhill kept the man from getting away for about 10 minutes while he waited for police.
Police say the alleged thief had been pedaling around the neighborhood on a bicycle, which was found lying nearby along with a nearly empty half-gallon bottle of vodka. Inside the thief’s pockets, officers found lighters, change and a tampon. Drug paraphernalia was also found inside the man’s backpack.
The man was booked into the Salt Lake County jail on suspicion of theft and the possession of drug-related items, police said.
