Suspicious driving led Salina Police Department officers to recover a stolen vehicle last week.
According to SPD Sergeant Kyle Tonniges, early Thursday at 4:20 a.m., an officer noticed a white 1999 Chevrolet Lumina driving suspiciously. After returning to the vehicle sometime later, it was unoccupied.
"He saw a subject walking away from the vehicle," Tonniges said. "It added to the officer's suspicions when it was 4:30 in the morning, and Sevijon [the subject] was wearing shorts."
Tonniges said the subject, 18-year-old Salina resident Sevijon Davis, gave officers a false name and birth date. It happened to be the name of a different subject with a warrant for arrest.
After learning Davis' true identity, officers checked the vehicle for registration and found the owner had just discovered the car's theft.
Tonniges said the car's owner believes it was stolen sometime after 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 6, from the 500 block of State Street.
Officers arrested Davis and requested charges of interference with law enforcement and vehicle theft.
