Police arrested a man who allegedly kidnapped a dealer during a test-drive of a Honda and drove the car more than 1,000 miles from Massachusetts to Wisconsin. Officials said that a Wisconsin State Patrol trooper pulled over the 32-year-old man on Friday for speeding, reckless driving and operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent.
The man will be sent back to Massachusetts to face charges of kidnapping.
The adventure began Thursday afternoon when the man and the Honda dealer went on a test-drive and the man refused to turn back around. The salesman escaped the vehicle when it slowed down at a toll near Massachusetts.
