The sheriff's office reported that Seminole Fire Rescue firefighters responded to treat an ill person Sunday morning. While rescue workers were inside the home treating the sick person, authorities said a 21-year-old man got into the unlocked cab of the fire truck and took the helmet. The firefighter noticed that his helmet, worth about $500, was missing several hours later. Deputies were able to track it back to the man. He was charged with grand theft, burglary of an unoccupied vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. He was being held on $7,000 bail. ___ Information from: St. Petersburg Times, http://tampabay.com/ |
