A stolen pickup has been recovered and a California man is in custody for stealing it, all because of crunching gravel. A Moneyhun Field Services employee was inside the office at Anadarko's Wamsutter yard on Saturday when he heard the sound of a vehicle driving on gravel. When he looked outside, he saw his pickup, a silver 2011 Dodge, driving away at a high rate of speed. Detective Dick Blust, Jr. with the Sweetwater County Sheriff's office says he believes the truck was unlocked with the keys left inside.
Arellano told officers that his own vehicle had broken down at Love's Truck Stop and he had "'borrowed'" the Dodge pickup to get it running again.
Fire officials checked the BP facility and determined there was no spill. Authorities are investigating whether Arellano placed the call as a distraction.
Arellano remains in custody at the Sweetwater County Detention Center. He will appear in Circuit Court in Rock Springs on charges of felony Larceny, Unlawful Possession, and False Reporting to Authorities today.
