A car theft suspect didn’t even make it off the lot Monday in Owensboro. Champion Ford reported to police that a Bronco had been taken. It didn’t take long for OPD to spot the vehicle nearby. Champion employees called it an “unauthorized test drive” on the company Facebook page. The suspect., 47-year-old Justin Ham, was chased back toward the dealership and was arrested near the old South Central Bank building. The jeep was a bit muddy from being driven into a field, but otherwise wasn’t damaged. Ham was charged with auto theft, fleeing police, and resisting arrest.
