A Washington man was jailed in Jasper for what he admits as taking “joy rides”.
Jasper Police report that employees at Sternberg’s Car Dealership in Jasper said they noticed vehicles at their facility that were moved and said they had seen a suspicious vehicle on their lot in recent days.
A semi pulled in as police arrived to investigate about 4:30 Sunday afternoon. 52-year-old Robert Warne of Washington was arrested for not having permission to be in the rig. Warne said he’s taken rides over the past several weeks in semis and dump trucks.
He’s charged with Auto Theft and Unauthorized Entry of a motor vehicle, both Felony charges. He’s also facing two misdemeanor counts of theft.
