A man from Madison, Wisconsin, who called police early on Thursday
morning to report that his car had been stolen was almost arrested for
car theft later on, when police spotted the car with the man behind the
wheel.
He forgot to call police again to say he had found his Mercedes-Benz, but that was minor compared to being arrested for his alleged fourth drunken driving offense.
Brian Primm, 39, was arrested at about 1:45am after being spotted by UW-Madison police going over 40 mph in a 25 mph zone. The incident started at about 1am when Primm reported his car had been stolen Downtown.
When officers spotted the car later, they were ready to make a high-risk traffic stop, thinking the car was stolen. "When asked why he didn't call back to let authorities know he located his Mercedes, he shrugged his shoulders," said Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain.
