Bowling Green Man To Police: I Stole The Car Because I Was Cold

Bowling Green police arrest a man who says he stole a running car because he was cold and wanted to drive it around the block.

On December 10th, police say they pulled over this man Donald Rhodes, 47, on N Lee Drive after matching the car he was driving with a stolen one.

Officers responded earlier that day to a man who said he started his car up and after stepping inside for a moment, someone stole it.

Rhodes told police he’s homeless and when he saw the running vehicle in the driveway, he was cold and decided to steal it and drive it around–eventually picking up a friend.

His friend was released and police took Rhodes to the Warren County Regional Jail.

He’s charged with receiving stolen property and operating on a suspended or revoked license.
