Louisville Metro police said a man was taken into custody after stealing a car from the Kia Store East while out on a test drive.
An arrest citation states 48 year-old Charles Jerome Westerman, of Louisville, admitted to this during an interview with detectives. Westerman reportedly said he and the salesmen stopped to get gas on Shelbyville Road on Tuesday and then he drove off when the salesmen got out of the car.
Louisville Metro police said the LMPD Air Unit tracked him down the next day, but he didn’t stop and kept driving recklessly before coming to a dead end on Stonestreet Avenue. Detectives said they eventually found him near the dead end hiding under a vehicle on Dixie Highway.
Westerman was booked at the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections for automobile theft and two counts of fleeing police.
