A Kansas City man who allegedly stole another person’s vehicle in Sedalia has been charged with a felony.
A probable-cause statement says a woman gave a man a ride on March 31. During a trip to WalMart, the woman stopped at Auto Zone, left the keys in the vehicle and went inside the store for about 10 minutes. When she returned, her 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the man were gone. The Jeep reportedly was found on April 7 by Riverside Police officers in the parking lot of the Argosy Casino.
According to online court documents, a warrant has been requested and 37-year-old Michael Paul Cook has been charged with a Class D Felony for Stealing a Motor Vehicle. Bond has not been set yet.
Cook’s initial appearance at Pettis County Circuit Court is pending.
