He had the need for speed.
An Oklahoma man on methamphetamine went on an exceptional trip Wednesday morning, Tulsa CBS affiliate KOTV reported.
First, cops say Brandon Kirby, 40, stole a pickup truck that was parked at an adult video store in Carthage, Mo., according to Tulsa FOX affiliate KOKI. The car had two passengers, one man asleep in the passenger’s seat and that man’s pet goat, chilling in the bed of the truck, but Kirby was undeterred.
The abducted man and his pet goat had been waiting in the truck while the driver went shopping inside the store, KOTV reported. When the man woke up, Kirby held him at gunpoint and pistol whipped him.
Kirby proceeded to ingest methamphetamine and drive the car from Carthage, about 150 miles south of Kansas City in Missouri’s southwest corner, through Kansas and into Oklahoma, KOKI reported. In rural Creek County, Okla., Kirby decided having company was overrated and dropped the man — and the goat — on the side of the road. This proved to be a mistake, as the man called 911.
Oklahoma police then contacted OnStar, which remotely slowed the stolen truck so it was only traveling about 15 mph, KOTV reported. But Kirby refused to give up, even after driving over a spike strip that flattened the vehicle’s tires. Eventually police ended the low-speed pursuit by forcing Kirby off the road and into a ditch in Sand Springs, Okla., just more than seven miles west of Tulsa.
Kirby was arrested after a short foot chase when cops found him attempting to hide in some tall grass like a fourth-grader playing hide-and-seek.
Kirby has a lengthy criminal history and was recently released from prison, according to KOTV. At the time of his wild ride, he was wanted on burglary charges in Osage County, just north of where the chase concluded.
