Deputies arrested an Oakland man Wednesday after he crashed a stolen car while speeding away from police near the Pilot Travel Center in Rice Hill.
In the early afternoon, a deputy from the Douglas County Sheriffâs Office saw a white Chevrolet Tahoe pull into the gas station with only a front license plate. The deputy checked the vehicleâs registration and quickly noticed that the license plate was supposed to be registered to a black Tahoe.
Noticing that the vehicle looked like it had its original coat of paint, the deputy figured the truck had been stolen and called for backup, according to court documents.
