Two men were arrested over the weekend after police responded to a car theft report and found the owner of the vehicle sitting in the front seat.
A 911 call had come in reporting the theft of a 2009 Audi on Swift Avenue South near South Warsaw Street. When authorities arrived to the area, they quickly found the vehicle and discovered the man that called 911 to report the theft of his vehicle was sitting in the passenger seat.
He told authorities he called 911 because he thought the man driving was too inebriated to drive.
Police arrested both men. The driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, and the passenger was arrested for false reporting. The car was impounded.
