VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) - A 24-year-old Oakland man is under arrest after authorities say he stole a car to make a court appearance on a previous auto theft charge.
The California Highway Patrol says Samuel Botchvaroff was arrested Tuesday after he left his arraignment at the Vallejo courthouse on auto theft charges only to get into another hot vehicle.
Officers had been surveilling the car after its LoJack system alerted them about the theft. The car was stolen from Oakland.
Authorities say Botchvaroff told officers his car had been impounded, and he had no other way to get to his arraignment.
He was booked into Solano County Jail on suspicion of auto theft and possession of stolen property.
