BELLEVUE, Wash. — Bellevue police arrested a man accused of stealing tires from a dealership and attempting to flee from police with his own car still on jacks, according to Bellevue police.
A 23-year-old man was arrested Tuesday morning after police responded to a report of theft at a dealership lot.
The man is accused of stealing tires off a black Dodge Challenger, then driving across the street and attempting to put the tires on his own red Dodge Challenger.
When police arrived, the man dove into his car to flee, but since his car was up on jacks to swap out the tires, the car didn’t go anywhere.
After he was arrested, police found a loaded stolen gun.
The man was booked into jail on seven felony warrants.
Additional charges are pending.
