Man caught driving stolen Bobcat ‘like a cowboy’ in Kennewick
A Kennewick neighborhood was woken up by a man playing cowboy on a stolen Bobcat early Saturday morning.
Police received several calls about a man riding the small piece of construction equipment recklessly at 2:49 a.m.
One caller said the man “threw his hat into the air while driving it around ‘like a cowboy,’” said Kennewick police.
When officers arrived they found Anthony St. John, 21, at the controls. They soon discovered the Bobcat had been taken from a nearby construction site.
St. John was booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion of vehicle theft.
