Edgewater: So, this guy Kevin Campana had quite the wild ride this week. It all started when he strolled into a car repair shop barefoot and ended up in a ditch after stealing a car. Talk about a Christmas Eve adventure!
At 31, Kevin’s no stranger to trouble. He walked right onto the Hibiscus Wholesale Auto Parts lot and snagged a key for a black Nissan Versa. Then, he just drove off like it was no big deal.
But the cops weren’t far behind. They spotted him after midnight, and a chase kicked off. Kevin tried to dodge some stop sticks but ended up speeding down dirt roads and through mobile home areas. It was like a scene from a movie!
Eventually, he tried to outsmart the police by driving around one of them but ended up flipping the car into a ditch. Oops! When the police caught up, he admitted he knew the car wasn’t his. Not the smartest move, huh?
After a quick trip to the hospital, he was taken to jail, facing charges like grand theft and fleeing the police. And get this—he already had other charges hanging over his head, so no bond for him.
The Edgewater Police even had a little fun with the situation, sharing a cheeky holiday poem about Kevin’s antics. It was a light-hearted reminder that crime doesn’t pay, especially in Edgewater!
Kevin’s got a long history with the law, dating back to 2011. Just recently, he was caught trying to break into cars at a dealership. Seems like he just can’t stay out of trouble!
So, while most folks were getting ready for the holidays, Kevin was getting ready for a long stay in jail. Not exactly the Christmas spirit!
