The 21-year-old suspect faces a felony charge for allegedly stealing a MedStar ambulance from a Macomb County hospital parking lot. Authorities claim while emergency medical technicians entered the hospital to drop off a patient, the man left the hospital and drove away in the ambulance.
After police were informed of the stolen vehicle, officers chased the ambulance through Mount Clemens, Mich., before the ambulance crashed into an embankment. Officers then arrested the driver, the report states.
The suspect was not a patient at the hospital. He is being held on bond in the Macomb County Jail with arraignment scheduled for Tuesday.
