COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio’s capital city say a man stole a police cruiser just minutes after officers revived him from an overdose.
Columbus police on Friday were searching for the 25-year-old man who crashed the cruiser and then ran away.
The Columbus Dispatch reports officers responded to a home Friday morning after being called about an overdose.
Officers revived the man and then put him in an ambulance while officers checked whether he had any outstanding arrest warrants.
