Man steals cherry picker with worker still in bucket
By Associated Press
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) - A cable repairman fixing overhead lines in a cherry picker truck got a lift he wasn't expecting. Police said a Bakersfield man stole the Brighthouse Networks truck on Saturday while 50-year-old Curtis Bartell was elevated 25 feet in the air.
The thief drove off, tearing down several phone lines before crashing into a utility pole. Police say Bartell did not suffer any major injuries. Police arrested a 29-year-old man on suspicion of hit-and-run, automobile theft and false imprisonment. He fled the scene but was taken into custody Sunday morning. |
