A Man Is Arrested in a Stolen Chevy Truck . . . Driving to Bail Out His Brother for Stealing a Chevy SUV

There's just a special connection between siblings where, sometimes, it almost seems like they're sharing one brain.  Unfortunately for these two, it doesn't seem like it was a very good brain.

 

 

A 36-year-old guy named Eric McCracken from Topeka, Kansas was pulled over around 1:30 A.M. on Friday in a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer.  And it turned out he'd STOLEN the SUV, so he was taken to jail.

 

 

About three hours later, the cops tried to pull over a 2015 Chevy Silverado that had been reported stolen.  And after a chase, they stopped the truck and arrested the guy driving it.

 

 

The driver turned out to be Eric's younger brother, a 32-year-old guy named Keith McCracken.

 

 

And he was driving the stolen Chevy truck to the jail . . . to bail his brother out for stealing the Chevy SUV.

 

 

Both Eric and Keith were charged with possessing stolen property and driving with suspended licenses.  And Keith was also hit with reckless driving and fleeing and eluding charges.
