BELLEVUE, Wash. -- A man faces auto theft charges after he drove a stolen car right to the Washington State Patrol district office parking lot in Bellevue, troopers said.
An alert driver recognized the stolen vehicle from a post on a european motorist club Facebook post and spotted it in the Issaquah area, troopers said.
The witness captured video of Micah Hatcher, 36, behind the wheel of the car and used his cell phone to report it, troopers said. The witness followed the car along Interstate 90 between Issaquah and Bellevue. Hatcher got off the freeway and drove the stolen car into the WSP district office parking lot, where he was arrested by troopers, they said.
Detectives said it was the easiest auto theft arrest they'd ever had.
Hatcher had been arrested several days prior on outstanding warrants and drug charges, troopers said. He was contacting troopers to try to retrieve some belongings that were taken during his initial arrest, they added.
Hatcher was arrested and booked into the King County Jail.
I want one of those jobs where people ask, “Do you actually get paid to do this?"
