KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — Texting and eating while driving? Not the best plan. Do those things while driving a stolen truck and the trouble mounts.
Kennewick, Wash., police say a Chevy pickup truck previously stolen in nearby Richland ran into a ditch and drove through some logs and lawns before hitting a home Wednesday.
Neighbors and the homeowner saw a man run from the scene. A Benton County sheriff’s deputy in the area made an arrest a short time later.
Spokesman Mike Blatman tells the Tri-City Herald (http://is.gd/wUepmy ) the arrested man said he was eating a croissant and reading a text message when he lost control.
