Two Salina men were arrested in rural McPherson County Saturday after a stolen car ran out of gas.
The car, a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria, was reported stolen by its owner, Bryce A. Fox, Salina, between 7:45 and 11 p.m. Friday from the parking lot at Great Plains Manufacturing, said Carson Mansfield, deputy Salina police chief. The car was unlocked, he said, and a key wasn’t needed to start it.
Salina police were notified at 3:15 a.m. Saturday that a McPherson County sheriff’s deputy had noticed the car on the county road and determined it was stolen. He arrested Tony Fields, 30, and Christopher Patton, 20, Salina, who were at the car while a good Samaritan was involved in providing fuel for the car, Mansfield said.
Fox, Fields, and Patton all list the same Salina address.
