An Oregon man was taken into custody after allegedly stealing a running car while drunk and taking it to a house where he thought a poker game was taking place.
Police say the incident occurred just before 9:30 pm Sunday, when 29-year-old Brandt Leeds of Portland stole a vehicle that was parked and running outside of Bo James on Washington Street. About 20 minutes later, a call came in about a suspicious male ringing a doorbell near Iowa City High School. Arriving officers came up on Leeds in a driveway. He allegedly smelled of ingested alcohol, had bloodshot watery eyes, thick slurred speech, and uneasy balance.
