HAZARD, Ky. (AP/The Blaze) — A man in eastern Kentucky charged with stealing an ambulance says he just needed a ride home.
The culprit, looking pretty dopey intoxicated, appears below.
A Perry County ambulance crew was inside a hospital in Hazard for only a few minutes Friday night and left the keys in the ignition. WYMT-TV reports that when they came out, the vehicle was gone.
City Police Sgt. Randy Napier says an off-duty Kentucky State Police detective saw the ambulance being driven erratically pulled it over.
Napier says 26-year-old Shane Hale told the detective he only needed a ride home and was going to call the ambulance service the next day and report where the vehicle was. Hale was jailed on DUI and other charges.
