A Mexican resident was arrested last night after stealing a Jerome Police Department patrol car.

38-year old Guadaloupe Cruz Vasquez appeared at the Jerome County Sheriffs Office yesterday and requested they transport him to Mexico.  When they refused, Vasquez then walked two blocks to the Jerome Police Department, allegedly threw a rock through a patrol car window then drove away.

Vasquez was located at around 7:45 last night, an hour after he allegedly took the vehicle just outside the town of Carey when the vehicle ran out of gas.  He has been booked into the Jerome County Jail on four counts of grand theft, one count of burglary and one count of possession of a stolen vehicle.  Vasquez is a Mexican national but here in the U.S. on a legal work visa.
