MPR News StaffA man who took a car from a Madison
dealership told police he was simply on a long test drive and had
no intention of stealing the vehicle.
Police arrested the 47-year-old man after he took a Nissan
Altima from A to Z Auto last Friday and drove to Milwaukee and
back. Officers acknowledged the man and the dealership had a
different understanding of how long a test drive should last.
The man could face a charge of operating a motor vehicle without
the owner’s consent. The Journal Sentinel
says the man was arrested about seven miles from the dealership. He
told police he drove to Milwaukee to test the car and get some
money to buy it.
