Nassau police say a Inwood man was arrested after allegedly stealing an Inwood Fire Department vehicle and crashing into a utility pole in East Atlantic Beach — causing the pole to crack in half and an attached transformer to explode.
The suspect stole the pickup truck from the firehouse early Saturday morning, drove it through the closed bay doors. After crashing the truck the suspect fled on foot but was apprehended.
He faces multiple charges including criminal mischief, burglary, unauthorized use of a vehicle, grand larceny, DWI and several traffic violations.
