(October 29, 2008)-- A 22-year-old Texas man is charged with theft and evading arrest after stealing a police officer’s truck and then driving by the officer, who was directing traffic during a concert in a Dallas suburb.
Matthew Herring is charged with theft and evading arrest.
Frisco police Officer Jerry Varner said he parked his maroon pickup about 100 yards from where he was directing traffic Saturday night.
He said he didn't notice anyone breaking in but recognized his truck coming toward him.
Varner ordered the driver to pull over, but instead police say the man put the truck in reverse and attempted to flee, striking several vehicles in the process.
Police cars eventually surrounded the truck.
Police say the driver tried to run but was soon caught.
