Kentucky, US: A 20 year old youth got arrested after he himself showed a picture of stealing gasoline from a cop’s car.
Michael Baker from Letcher County admited he stole gas from a police cruiser!
After he posted his picture of stealing gas on Facebook, it went viral on net prompting and local police to investigate the matter.
Later it was revealed that friend of Michael took the picture ‘only as a joke’.
“We was just standing there and thought it would be funny to take a picture and then post it on Facebook,” said Baker.
“Yeah, we’re sorry, but it was just a joke. I mean if we was going to steal gas, we wouldn’t put it nationwide on Facebook. We don’t steal anyway, but we’re sorry,” said Joann Sandelin, Baker’s friend.
Fortunately for cop, his car was running out of the gas and both friends only managed to steal a little amount of gas.
“If they’re going to do it to a police car, they’re going to do it to just about anybody,” said Jenkins Police Chief Allen Bormes.
Innocent thief spent a night behind the bards, but he says he is not sorry for what he did.
Officials at the Jenkins Police Department say they are taking necessary precautions to avoid another event like this one and plan to have lockable gas caps in the near future.
