Men try to steal pickup truck that doesn't run

[March 19, 2010]  PINE BLUFF, Ark. (AP) -- Even though the truck wouldn't run, it was still a crime to try to steal it.

A Jefferson County sheriff's deputy thought it looked a little odd when three men were pushing a pickup truck near the county jail on Sunday, with a fourth man in the cab to steer. The county seal on the side of the truck helped confirm the deputy's suspicions.

Two men are charged with theft and two others who got away are being sought. Sheriff's officials say the truck was being used for parts and would not have started.

Officials said two cousins were charged with theft after trying to run from police.

They have hearings set for May 11.
