A MAN WAS ARRESTED TUESDAY AFTER ALBUQUERQUE POLICE SAY HE TOOK A JOY RIDE IN A SEMI. APD SAYS THE MAN, WITH A BEER IN HAND, GOT INTO THE BIG RIG AT THE T-A TRUCK STOP ON UNIVERSITY BLVD, THEN DROVE OFF.
POLICE TRIED TO STOP HIM, BUT HE KEPT GOING UNTIL HE GOT TO LA VETA AND MENAUL. THAT’S WHERE HE STOPPED THE TRUCK, GOT OUT AND RAN. HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY A SHORT TIME LATER. POLICE ARE NOW TRYING TO DETERMINE IF HE WAS DRUNK AT THE TIME.
