Drunk Driver Steals Own Car From Police

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - A drunk driver was arrested Friday morning after he stole his own car — from the police — and ran it into a ditch, officials said.

The 53-year-old man had been pulled over for "swerving all over the road," said Bjoern Ohlin, shift commander at the Flemingsberg police station, on the outskirts of Stockholm.

Police impounded the car and took the man back to the station for an alcohol test, Ohlin said. But after the man was fined and set free — as most drunk drivers are in Sweden — he took a taxi back to where police had left his car and took it back, using his spare key.

"When a patrol car was on the way to the site to help tow the car, it blew past them in the other direction," Ohlin said.

Police were able to pull the man over — again — but as they approached the car he took off at a high speed. He then swerved off the road into a ditch, flipping the car, Ohlin said.

He was being treated Friday with minor injuries at Huddinge Hospital in outside Stockholm. Ohlin said he will face charges of drunk driving and violating police orders.

i can imagine my father (who's forever drunk) doing something like that but probably something even worse like driving his truck at 120 mph into a glass building.
