Lincoln Police say employees at Red Star Auto reported a pickup had been stolen Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. The dealership's owner says Scott King had taken the truck for a test drive earlier Tuesday.
Police believe King stopped during the test drive to have a copy made of the truck's key. He returned the truck to the lot, but police believe he stole it overnight using the duplicate key.
The dealership owner drove to King's address and found the truck parked about 10 blocks away. Police arrested King, and he was still in the Lancaster County jail Thursday morning.
