Pueblo Police arrested a man accused of stealing a vehicle after he was found in a drive-through restaurant.

Officers with the Pueblo Police Department were dispatched to a call involving a Motor Vehicle Theft in the 3300 block of Morris Ave. at 7 a.m. Monday. According to PPD, the driver momentarily left the vehicle unattended.

One officer approached the vehicle from the front and a second officer approached the vehicle from the rear to box it in. That's when PPD said the suspect tried escaping by driving backward, narrowly missing the police vehicle that was behind him.

However, the suspect still managed to hit an unoccupied vehicle in the parking lot.
