Cross-country drive on 2 gallons of gas
CHERRY HILL, N.J., April 27 (UPI) -- A car that wasn't returned from a test drive to a New Jersey dealership was identified by a Cherry Hill policeman when it drove into the back of his cruiser.
A car dealer called state police midday Monday to report a man had not returned a green 1997 Chevy Cavalier from a test drive, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Two hours later, the missing car rammed the Cherry Hill police car, which was stopped in traffic, Detective Sgt. Joe Vitarelli said. Noone was injured and damage to the cruiser was estimated at about $1,000.
The driver, Anthony Smith, 39, told the officer he had borrowed the car, but a computer check revealed it had been reported stolen that morning. He was charged with auto theft and remained in jail, unable to post a $7,500 bond.
