Wasilla man warms up in Fairbanks jail
 Alaska
State Trooper K9 Argo |
And by the looks of it, he might be well advised to consider a different line of work; if convicted of even half what he's accused of, he's obviously too stupid to be a thief.
Alaska State Troopers received a report of a vehicle in the ditch at mile 201 on the Parks Highway at about 2:02 p.m. December 17, and Troopers learned that their suspect, as the rig in the ditch proved to have been stolen out of Anchorage, had hitched a ride with a passing motorist.
When Troopers pulled that vehicle over, the suspect fled on foot, and made it over two miles before Argo and State Troopers found him, suffering hypothermia and frostbite.
The man, Samuel Wade, 20, Wasilla, was charged with car theft, resisting arrest, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct, and treated by both Cantwell EMS and at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, before he was remanded to Fairbanks Correctional Center.
And perhaps a better word for "remanded" would be "returned;" according to court records, he's accused of escaping a correctional facility last Saturday.
While none of the cases have yet been adjudicated, Wade is also facing charges for a vehicle theft July 24, a burglary August 2, a vehicle theft August 3, and burglaries August 4, 5 and 6, all allegedly committed this year.
