Kody Adams, already facing charges, allegedly told Oklahoma police he had merely been ‘borrowing’ vehicle

An Oklahoma man who could not find a ride to a criminal court hearing on accusations that he had stolen a car worsened his legal peril by stealing an ambulance service’s truck and driving himself to the courthouse, authorities allege.

The bizarre case centers on Kody Adams, who was recently at a gasoline station in the community of Stillwater asking passersby whether they would drive him to Pawnee – about 30 minutes away – so that he could attend a court hearing there, as the Oklahoma highway patrol tells it.
